One of Culpeper’s Most Iconic and Recognizable Homes, This Gorgeous Victorian is a Testament to Days of Yesteryear. A true oasis in every sense of the word, this in-town private retreat is situated on two lots totaling over half an acre, and boasts over 2,500 square feet of carefully curated and modernized living space. A light filled oversized foyer welcomes you as you enter the home, complete with hand laid hardwood flooring, high ceiling, and touches of original hardware adorning the space. The living room invites relaxing evenings or fun gatherings, with built-ins, picture railing, and a beautiful bay window and banquette. Cozy separate dining room just off the kitchen, with access to the side deck. The granite-clad kitchen serves as a chef’s haven, with a 5 burner down draft gas stove and stainless-steel appliances. The main level also offers a den complete with picture ledge, wainscotting and recessed lighting, mud room from the rear entry, laundry and full bath. Rich in character, the high ceilings and oversized moldings evoke a sense of grace, punctuated by period details such as picture rails and original stained glass accent windows filtering in gentle light. The rich hardwood flooring carries throughout the home, ensuring its charm, as do features such as the inset glass display cabinet in the rear entry area, wainscotting, and don’t forget the second stairway tucked just beside the kitchen. (late night snacks?) On the second level of the home, you’ll find 5 spacious bedrooms and a full bathroom. Any of these rooms may also suit as an office, with one overlooking the back yard and seasonal mountain/sunset views! Go up yet a floor further and you’ll find a spacious “flex” space that lends itself for ample storage, an additional bedroom space, office, play room, etc. The home presents a spacious covered front porch, side deck and rear porch, offering various niches and vantage points to relax and enjoy the thoughtfully designed landscape. The home is set in a lush surrounding of mature plantings, beautiful blooms and the sounds of a tranquil fountain. You’ll admire the surprising privacy the back yard offers, and the magnificent black walnut tree yielding shade for all. Meander through the backyard space and appreciate the herringbone brick patio, inviting inground pool, outdoor shower, discreet chicken “coupe” and gardener's nook. A detached garage mirrors the home’s style and affords space for vehicle parking and workshop and indoor gardener storage. There is ample parking tucked behind the home, and the driveway is adorned with a beautiful wrought iron gate for added peace of mind. All of this nestled in the heart of downtown Culpeper, with shops and restaurants just a few blocks away!
