Property Description

Historic houses define both the character and the allure of Staunton. But rare is the restoration that honors the history of the architecture while also instilling a creative, designer-inspired spirit. This is one of those houses. Built in 1921, the curb appeal of this classic colonial relies on brick construction, original 8-over-8 windows, a front porch framed in columns, and a perennial flower garden that wraps a paved pathway. Expect an interior washed in natural light and a flexible floorplan that invites more than one interpretation of the living space. Nine-foot ceilings complement the large windows. A custom kitchen is open to the dining room, and a vaulted-ceiling addition overlooks a stone-and-brick terrace. The very private backyard, viewed through two large, circa-1900 windows, is immediately inviting. With 3 finished levels, 3 full bathrooms, plus the possibility of 4 bedrooms, this house is distinctive for its custom finishes. Updates include the mechanical systems, electrical & plumbing, plus appliances and fixtures. Designer lighting welcomes art. The location: a quiet street just half a block from Gypsy Hill Park and a short walk to Staunton’s downtown retail, restaurant, theater, and gallery scene.
