Attention historians...this home is chock full of history that dates back to the mid 1800's, This lovely historic home is set in historic Bolivar and was said to have been built to house workers of the Southern branch of the US Armory in Harpers Ferry. Although the home definitely needs some work, love and updates (TLC as they say), there is plenty to love. The hardwood floors (2nd floor look to be original) are beautiful. The upstairs windows were replaced by the current owner and the downstairs are modern double paned windows as well. The upstairs bathroom has been completely redone. The study/library on the main floor has custom built in wall units for you book lovers. The current owner also installed raised beds and has grown lettuce, kale, tomatoes, herbs and onions galore! Over on the tree line there is a natural occurring patch of Blue Bells that come up each early spring. Things to look for: In the Master BR Closet, the work stopped short when the owner found some renderings of a civil war soldiers face and wording "Scorpion of the Confederacy". See if you can find it when you tour this home! There is a floor board in the blue rug room that is a secret compartment. Can you find it? Ahh...and then there is what to do? Love nature? Love hiking and biking? Love Rivers? There is an Appalachian Trail head nearby and almost 4000 acres of parkland. Harpers Ferry hosts the convergence of the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers as well. Trail hiking, canoeing, tubing, biking, camping and more! Love eating? One of our nations top vegan restaurants is just a short walk downtown, "Kelley Farm Kitchen" was named Yelp's Top Place to Eat in 2021! And the shopping and taverns welcome you downtown, all within a hike down the hill. The commuters dream, the train and the transit bus, both within 5 minutes and the Virginia border a hop, skip and a jump. Hope you come take a look. She is priced to sell and is looking for a new owner to love her.
