In Fauquier County, this cozy, historic cabin is now for sale. The home at 3225 Sage Rd., Markham, was constructed in 1850 with materials from the property. Its foundation, chimney, and patio were crafted with stones from the nearby ridges, and the braces of the home were built with hand-hewn chestnut wood from trees from surrounding trees.
This historic home has only had four owners since its construction. While original charming features have been preserved over time, several additions and modern updates have been added to the now 2,397-square-foot home. The four-bedroom, four-bathroom house is currently on the market for $999,000.
Step inside from the spacious porch and you’ll find a sitting room full of natural light. The additions and updates that took place throughout the home’s history allowed for new, modern features in the living space like recessed lighting and updated wood floors.
The kitchen features a six-burner Viking range and stainless steel appliances. Along with the modern add-ons, the exposed beams, brick flooring, and textured walls preserve the original charm of the 19th-century home.
Adjacent to the kitchen is the charming dining room, with the exposed wooden beams continuing from room to room. With tile flooring, floating shelves, and a wood-burning stove, the dining room is a comfortable and relaxing space to enjoy a warm meal.
On the first floor of the home is one of two spacious suites, complete with an en-suite bathroom and a private outdoor patio. The built-in shelving has space for chairs, meaning it could serve for storage or double as a desk. Recessed lighting keeps the first-level suite bright and airy.
Upstairs, the cabin has a secondary living space with exposed ceiling beams and rustic wood paneling. Two parallel windows allow natural light to flood the room.
The upstairs primary bedroom suite sits right above the first, with recessed lighting, tons of windows, and wood floors. The spacious bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and private deck access overlooking the front of the property.
Also on the second floor of the home is a den and office space with a coved, wood-paneled ceiling. The space is perfect for anyone who works from home, especially with the built-in desk space. The second floor also features two more bedrooms, a spacious full bathroom, and a flexible room that could serve as a fifth bedroom.
Included on the expansive 34-acre property is a covered space for grilling. It’s only a few steps from the home and offers a place to cook outside and take in views of the property.
The property also includes several storage buildings. An enclosed one-car garage and a covered port with four spaces sit near a large barn and an equipment shed. The 34 acres also includes several wooded paddocks for livestock, a whole farm generator, and Mitchell’s Branch creek right in the backyard of the property.
