A two-bedroom historic property located at 23274 Watson Road in Leesburg is new on the market for $799,000.
Known as The Old Gibson House, the circa 1789 stucco cottage has been “meticulously restored,” according to listing agent Debbie Meighan of Washington Fine Properties.
The exterior features over one acre which is surrounded by mature trees and extended views.
Entering the front door on a stone walkway, there is a living room with original log walls made of American Chestnut, Heart Pine wood floors, a stone fireplace and reclaimed wood beams.
“When the owners purchased the home, it was in rough shape,” Meighan said. “They took everything back to the walls and discovered original log walls from the 1700s.”
Also on the main level is a dining room, family room with custom built-in cabinets, and an upscale kitchen with walk-in pantry.
“There’s a lot to love about the kitchen,” Meighan said. “It has high-end appliances and I love the cabinetry which is custom-made with inset doors. The uppers with natural and the darker color below brings it all together.”
Upstairs, there are two spacious bedrooms with vaulted, beamed ceilings and a renovated full bathroom which is a “work of art” with a walk-in shower, custom tile and marble flooring.
“It is absolutely beautiful,” she said.
Plans are available for an addition to the home as well as for a detached garage with office and bathroom.
“This is a perfect gem of a home and so well-loved,” Meighan said.
Several modern amenities in the home include two-zone HVAC, Verizon FiOS for internet and television and the home is located on a paved road within close proximity to wineries and breweries, local commuting routes to Washington, D.C., and within a short drive of Leesburg and Middleburg, Meighan said.
