MLS® # VALO2091856
Welcome to Derry's Tavern. The main house was constructed in 1812 as a traveler's way-station between Leesburg and Charles Town while Mr Derry and his family resided in the attached log cabin. Featuring high ceilings, ample sized rooms, and abundant natural lighting this historic treasure sits on a 10 acre parcel. Many original features are prominent throughout the home including wood plank floors in the upstairs lodging room above the once Tavern, now living room. The original log cabin predates land records and is believed to have been visited by Mr George Washington himself by local historians as a young surveyor. And yet a cook's kitchen and updated baths along with a wide straight staircase to the upper level provide modern convenience and safety. The original curved staircase remains and wraps around the living room fireplace to the once lodging room - now bedroom two. It is usable - owner simply requests one uses the straight staircase for safety from the 1947 addition. This addition by the heirs of the Woolworth fortune added the formal dining room, kitchen, bathroom,utility room, the staircase, an upstairs bedroom and full bath. The two sections were seamlessly connected. The final addition created the primary bedroom and the floored attic space with fan above and the basement space below in the 1960's. As spring approaches, perennials will be popping up throughout the property as well as flowering tress and shrubs. The gardens are irrigated for ease in maintaining. Perennial edibles include: blueberries, asparagus, strawberries, and rhubarb. Such a delightful property to enjoy in the heart of the wine country of Loudoun! Currently a residence, zoned AR1 it could also be used as an event center, B&B, a business center or a myriad of other uses including a gentleman's farm. The finished square footage does NOT include the log cabin which would total 3334SF as mentioned on the floor plan.
