Listing details

Step into a rare historic property with extraordinary character set on 10 private wooded acres in the Hanover High district. Inspired by Colonial Williamsburg and featured on the Hanover County House & Garden Tour during Historic Garden Week, this colonial-style Cape Cod showcases craftsmanship and period detail seldom found in modern construction. Known as ?Waldo?, many architectural components from an 18th-century Virginia residence were carefully preserved and integrated into the home. The enclosed string staircase was relocated intact with carved pine handrails mortised and pegged into traditional posts. Reclaimed timbers were milled into heart-pine floors, exposed beams, shiplap, paneling, crown, and chair rail. Recovered brick and antique wood elements enrich the fireplaces and surrounding walls. An expansive foyer welcomes guests and opens to two living areas, both with wood-burning fireplaces. The east-facing family room, open to the dining area, includes exposed beams & a welcoming keeping room anchored by a substantial wood-burning hearth, & the living room offers an abundant gathering space & second wood-burning fireplace. The gorgeous updated kitchen supports modern function flows into a generous dining space designed for gatherings. The flexible layout offers four potential bedrooms & 2.5 baths, including a main-level primary ensuite with gas fireplace plus an additional room ideal for a nursery or office. Upstairs are two large bedrooms, a full bath, & abundant walk-in attic. The basement provides 500+ finished sq ft for recreation & laundry, along with another 500 sq ft workshop/storage. Outside, exquisite brick walks & walls flank the patios & lovely garden. Other exterior elements were positioned to complement the home?s colonial aesthetic: a fenced yard, open-front barn, & large carport. A distinctive blend of history, land, and livability in a coveted Hanover location. Don?t miss a rare opportunity to own an exceptional historic property only minutes from shopping, dining, and interstates.
