Sited on a double lot at the highest point of Washington Street, this 1907 Sears Craftsman house commands great views of lower (old town) Harpers Ferry. The owners acquired the house in 2016 and began renovations with the intention to open a B&B in the future. The first floor retains the tin ceilings, wood floors, and elegant foyer staircase which are original to the house. Upstairs, the four bedrooms feature antique furniture, while the en suite bathrooms are individually decorated in designer tile and modern fixtures. The smaller rear rooms boast private balconies.
Outdoors, a 3-sided wrap-around porch opens to extensive gardens on a full-size city lot. Stone from local quarries, statuary and a tranquil pond add interest to the area, which features interesting groupings of flowers and shrubs, designed and planted by the current owner. Behind the house, a log cabin built by a former owner to house his wife’s Montessori School, is planned as an artist’s studio in the future.
Refreshments will be served.
