12040 Berlin Tpke, Lovettsville, VA 20180

The year was 1920. The passing of the 19th amendment gave women the right to vote. Strangely enough, the US postal service declared that children could not be sent by parcel. A flight took off from London to South Africa and arrived 45 days later. </p> And here, in Lovettsville, Virginia, a grand Victorian home welcomed its first owner. </p> Now, just 103 years later, this distinguished property becomes available for sale. You won’t find anything else just like it. Lovingly remodeled, yet with the charm of its original soul, this 4 bedroom/2 bath property sits proudly on 2.91 acres. With nearly 2800 finished square feet and an additional 700+ available in the walk-up attic, there is room for a crowd. Outside, find multiple outbuildings and a 3-bay Amish-built detached garage (28 x 40) with an upper storage area. </p> The kitchen and baths are exquisitely and recently redone. Practically perfect. The wrap-around front porch hugs the entire width of the house and most of its depth. And double 30’ verandas off the back just make for a southern home’s best feature – a sweet tea spot with comforting view of the park-like grounds. </p> Recently repainted but with all original hardwoods and craftsman-style dark wood moldings – including detailed built-ins in dining and family rooms. Living room with hook up for propane fireplace in a stunning period fireplace. Central AC and oil heat. Easy to add a furnace since all ducting is in place. </p> Some people may pass on viewing a home because of its address. Don’t let that stop you. This grand estate is set back from the road, and the back yard feels like a country getaway. Keep history alive for your family and take a look. I think you will be pleasantly, and amazingly, surprised.
