Listing details

Welcome to 18344 Railroad Street - a radiant jewel box tucked in the heart of Bluemont, Virginia, a storybook village where charm, creativity, and community beautifully converge. This custom, 2-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom cottage is that rare alchemy of historic soul and modern sophistication. Originally built in 1900 right next to the final stop on the historic Bluemont (W&OD) Railroad, which is now a walking trail to Alexandria. This home was artfully reimagined down to the studs in 2015, preserving its heritage while infusing it with artisan-level craftsmanship and contemporary ease. Spanning 1,328 square feet, every inch of this home is designed to delight. Soaring ceilings, hand-laid pine floors, and a showstopping tower staircase anchor the space in architectural wonder, while behind the walls, new plumbing, updated electrical, and energy-efficient systems offer peace of mind for modern living. The main level unfolds into a light-filled, open-concept living space, anchored by a gourmet kitchen with granite countertops, soft close cabinets, and stainless steel appliances. Built-in bench seating in the dining area adds charm and hidden storage, while the main-level laundry offers everyday ease. A jewel-box powder room with radiant heated floors adds a refined touch of indulgence. Ascend the tower staircase to discover a luminous primary suite with 12-foot ceilings, custom built-ins, and a spa-worthy bath complete with a frameless glass shower and radiant heated flooring. A whimsical ladder leads to a lofted hideaway, ideal as an extra sleeping space, a cinematic retreat, or a cozy book nook. Down the gallery-style hallway, discover a serene guest bedroom, a versatile bonus room ideal for an office, nursery, or studio, and a beautifully renovated full bath—each space finished with care and elevated intention. Step outside into your private, fully fenced .29-acre sanctuary. Manicured landscaping surrounds a flagstone porch, composite deck, and charming garden shed, an outdoor setting equally suited for tranquil mornings or festive evenings under the stars. But what truly sets this property apart is its Rural Commercial zoning—a rare and coveted designation that allows you to live, work, and create all under one iconic roof. Just steps from the Bluemont General Store, Community Center, Bluemont Winery, Dirt Farm Brewing, and Great Country Farms, this one-of-a-kind home sits at the crossroads of lifestyle and legacy. Here, history isn’t just remembered—it’s lived.
