✨ Improved Price! ✨ Step into timeless charm with this beautifully restored 1870 gem, lovingly cared for by two meticulous owners. Nestled on a picturesque corner lot along historic South Samuel Street, this home blends period elegance with thoughtful modern upgrades—inside and out. The freshly painted stucco exterior, restored standing seam metal roof, and repointed stone foundation set the tone for what’s to come. A full-width front porch framed by graceful Doric columns invites you to pause, sip coffee, and enjoy the neighborhood’s charm. Two original 2/2/2 floor-to-ceiling windows with antique glass add to the home’s captivating curb appeal. Inside, a gracious center hall layout on both levels brings balance and flow, highlighted by soaring 9’+ ceilings, refinished hardwood floors, and natural light at every turn. Beautiful architectural details abound—from beadboard columns with rosette moldings to transom-topped doors and an elegant front staircase. To the left of the center hall, the Drawing Room delights with an original bay window that floods the space with light. Across the way, the spacious Dining Room features a classic fireplace and flows seamlessly into a dream-worthy Gourmet Kitchen. Complete with a large marble-topped island, upgraded stainless appliances, a gas stove, and ample cabinetry—it’s as stylish as it is functional. A sunny laundry room and charming back staircase (perfect for late-night kitchen runs!) round out the space. The main level also includes a marble-floored half bath and a serene sunroom overlooking the backyard—both this space and its upstairs counterpart include independent LG heating/cooling units for year-round comfort. Head downstairs to find a finished lower level made for fun and relaxation! You'll love the cozy ambiance created by laminate plank flooring and propane fireplaces. There’s a pool room with a fireplace mantle reclaimed from the Carriage House, a game room ready for ping pong or darts, and a generous unfinished area for storage. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers a spa-like retreat with a marble bathroom, walk-in shower, double vanity, and excellent storage. Two additional bedrooms offer unique charm—one with generous closets, the other with an original built-in. A stylish guest bath with marble finishes and a vintage clawfoot tub completes the second level. Outside, your private backyard oasis awaits! Discover thoughtfully landscaped gardens with stone enclaves, winding brick paths, a stamped dark rose concrete patio, and a new Cabana. There’s even a newly built 12x12 Hot House and a vintage Carriage House—both with electricity and prepped for future generator hookup. Just a short stroll from the heart of downtown Charles Town, you’re close to local shops, eateries, and the seasonal farmers market. Nature lovers and history buffs will adore nearby Harpers Ferry and the area's abundant outdoor adventures. Plus, with easy access to Virginia and Maryland commuter routes, it’s perfectly positioned for work and play. Home is listed in the National Register of Historic Places as a contributing building in the Charles Town Residential Historic District. This rare find is a harmonious blend of past and present, ready to welcome its next chapter. Don’t miss the chance to make this storybook home yours!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
