We know this region is full of history, but it’s not every day that you get the opportunity to purchase one of the most historic homes in Fairfax County. Built in 1828, this 4,954-square-foot estate is known as the Cornwell Farm (which was added to the National Register of Historic Places back in 1977).
Sitting on over 2 acres, the estate at 9414 Georgetown Pike, Great Falls features antebellum plantation architecture with a Flemish brick facade. With four bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms, the 195-year-old property is currently listed at $2,250,000.
The family room is sure to host all of your entertaining needs. Whether you’re a bibliophile or cinephile, the built-in shelves that adorn an entire wall in this room will be able to show off your collection of books, movies, and more.
Even though the home is almost 200 years old, you don’t have to worry about cooking in a cramped space with ancient technology. The updated kitchen exerts elegance and modernity while not sticking out from the rest of the original features throughout the home. With its all-white cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and plenty of natural lighting, takeout might become a thing of the past.
Formal dinner parties will be a must if you live here. With two built-in china cabinets and plenty of extra space for more storage and a buffet table, you can keep your fine dining accessories separate from your day-to-day utensils. Plus, the cozy fireplace just adds to the picturesque room. The home also features a less formal dining space to host your family game nights and serve as the designated homework space.
Once you step out onto the back porch, you are met with serene views that’ll make you forget how close to the city you actually are. Whether you want to lounge around on the covered porch with a good read or stay cool by taking a dip in the pool, we can see the next owner spending a lot of time enjoying this private outdoor oasis.
