Just a short stroll away is the rich history and scenic beauty of Cushwa Basin and the C&O Canal, offering a timeless connection to one of Washington County’s most storied areas. This historic home retains many original architectural features that speak to the craftsmanship of its era, including leaded glass windows, wide-plank wood flooring, original handrails, wall coverings, and numerous period details throughout. The main level features 10-foot ceilings, while the upper level offers 9-foot ceilings, creating a spacious and elegant feel rarely found in homes of this age. Adding to its character are three fireplaces, two enclosed porches, and a charming backyard with off-street parking and rear alley access, blending historic charm with everyday convenience.
