In Purcellville, this stunning home at 250 W. Main St. is a glimpse back in time.
The home was built around 1936 and embodies the design and appeal of Victorian architecture, particularly in its muted blue tones, tall turret, and wide wraparound porch. Mature trees dot the property, providing some shade, privacy, and serenity.
Its location in Purcellville means it’s an easy walk away from shops and restaurants, as well as the Washington & Old Dominion trail.
The home has four bedrooms and two full bathrooms, a total of 2,804 square feet. It was listed at $895,000 and is currently under contract.
Upon entry, it’s easy to see that this is a home with history. There is a period staircase and a fireplace, and the flooring is the original pine. The ceiling is 9 feet tall and features an ornate chandelier.
The kitchen is a balance of the old and new. The pine floors are contrasted with pearly white custom cabinetry and updated appliances. The kitchen has a wide farmhouse sink, a gas stovetop, and space for a breakfast nook. One open cabinet can even be put to use as a coffee bar, and the island doubles as seating space.
The living room has wide windows that look over the front yard and bring in plenty of light. A gas fireplace with an ornate mantel sits as the centerpiece of the room.
Upstairs, this spacious sitting room connects to the bedrooms, providing an additional space for relaxation or for an office.
There are four bedrooms on the upper floor, plus a dressing room that can be used to store clothing. The home has two full bathrooms, one on each floor.
A pair of French doors at the back of the house opens onto a raised back deck overlooking the yard. The home sits on 0.64 acres of land and is surrounded by a fence.
The yard also features a covered gazebo, complete with a bar-height counter on one side, that makes a perfect space for even more outdoor entertainment.
