A two-bedroom historic property at 23274 Watson Road in Leesburg is newly listed for $799,000.
Known as The Old Gibson House, the circa-1789 stucco cottage has been “beautifully restored,” according to listing agent Debbie Meighan of Washington Fine Properties.
Exterior features over an acre surrounded by mature trees and expansive views.
Entering the front door and walking down a flagstone path, there is a living room with log walls made of American chestnut, heart pine floors, stone fireplace and reclaimed wood beams.
“When an owner buys a home, it’s in a rough shape,” Meghan said. “They brought everything back to the wall and found the original log wall from the 1700s.”
Main level also has dining room, family room with custom built-in cabinets and upscale kitchen with walk-in pantry.
“There’s a lot to love about the kitchen,” Meighan said. “It has high-end appliances and I love the custom cabinets with recessed doors. The natural upper and the darker color underneath bring it all together.”
Upstairs there are two spacious bedrooms with vaulted beamed ceilings and a refurbished full bathroom, a “work of art” with walk-in shower, custom tile and marble floors.
“It’s absolutely beautiful,” she said.
Plans are available for additions to the home as well as a detached garage with office and bathroom.
“It’s the perfect family gem and it’s well-loved,” Meighan said.
Several modern amenities in the home include two-zone HVAC, Verizon FiOS for internet and TV, the house is located on a paved road, close to wineries and breweries, local commuter routes to Washington D.C. Fort and Middleburg are only a short drive away, Meighan said.
