270 Washington Street

Under Contract

A remarkable home perfectly situated in the hillside of gorgeous Harpers Ferry in West Virginia. Set atop the Historic District, the property overlooks the Shenandoah River and Potomac River joining together in a beautiful creation of nature, also a locomotive lovers dream, watching passenger trains traveling as far as Chicago, Illinois. The house itself was designed to fit into the historical architecture yet was first occupied in 2005. The tastefully appointed, multi-level colonial construction - private, off-street parking in the beautifully designed carriage house - and all modern construction techniques and amenities, make one of the most desirable homes in the area.

Driving down Washinton Street into Harper's Ferry, visitors can't help but to stop and gaze at the beautiful property at 270 Washington Street. The home is beautiful and ties in perfectly with the townscape - one might think it is the visitor's center. The home climbs from the cliff side and rises up with four stories of finished living space. The carriage house is its own feat of engineering, featuring a workshop and storage area beneath the slab which supports up to two full size vehicles. The two buildings, the carriage house garage and four-story colonial, accent one another perfectly. Views of the Appalachian Mountain and Shenandoah River landscape are available throughout the home bringing in the beautiful nature. Views overlooking Harpers Ferry from the multi-level back porches are one-of-a-kind and remarkable year round.

Inside the home you are welcomed with a traditional floor plan and country home. The main level features access to the beautiful overlook, a large family room and dining room combo, the kitchen, and an ideal space for a home office. Windows on all sides of the house let natural light permeate the entire floor, and the front door - made of solid wood with privacy window inserts and side lights - provides the perfect barrier between the comfort of the home and the sidewalk which lies only feet away.

Heading upstairs you will find the majority of the sleeping quarters. The master bedroom is quite large and features a walk-in closet and space for a small office. The spacious en suite bathroom features a large single vanity and a ceramic walk-in shower. The second floor also features another fully appointed bathroom which currently serves double duty as the second floor laundry room, a comfortably-sized second bedroom, and a open space which can be utilized as a reading room or small second story living room. Behind the separate room is another stairway which leads up to a spacious loft.

The upstairs loft is large enough to accommodate multiple uses in a variety of layouts. The third level has numerous closets for plenty of storage space, a full bathroom with shower and vanity, and plenty of space for bedroom furniture, and a full-size office. It all comes with beautiful views from all sides with windows looking out to mountain terrain, joining river ways, trains with people and goods from all over the world, and a historic downtown area alive with daily tourism and hiking trails.

The home of a former train engineer and rails installed by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad company the railway is now serviced by Amtrak and MARC. The historic train station constructed in 1889 is built on remaining foundations from Harpers Ferry armory buildings. The whole town of Harpers Ferry, train station included, serves as a museum to its past with history exhibits in nearly every public building.
