On the Market in Clifton: A Renovated Civil War Era Farmhouse

2022-07-22 07:34:18 By : Ms. Sophia Bian

This restored and expanded home combines rich history with modern function.

This expanded farmhouse resting on 5 acres in Clifton is steeped in Virginia history, with the original portion of the home dating back to the Civil War era. This section of the home has since been renovated with keen attention to original detail, and a modern expansion added a primary bedroom suite on the upper level and a pantry, mudroom, and two-car garage on the first level. 

Listed for $1.5 million, the three-bedroom, 2,824-square-foot home also has plenty of outdoor living space, with a deck, front porch, garden, back patio, and two fire pit areas — not to mention rolling scenic vistas. The property includes a restored barn that has been transformed into a rustic living and entertainment space, although it could still function as a space for horses and animals if desired. 

Just a few minutes away from the charming village of Clifton, this historic home in Fairfax County is filled with classic touches and modern updates, made exceptional by gorgeous outdoor spaces and a spacious barn for even more living space.

The front living room exemplifies the historical charm present in this home, with a painted brick fireplace and a built-in bookcase. Crown molding and green wainscoting give the room a cozy feel.

The classic and inviting kitchen is outfitted with ceramic tile flooring, a breakfast island, granite counters, and stainless steel appliances.

The timeless feel of the dining room might make you second guess what year it is. The cozy fireplace anchors the room and makes it feel like the true hearth of the home.

A classic red barn in the backyard of the main home provides an incredibly unique additional living space on the property.

Inside the barn, the space has been transformed into a spectacular living and gathering area. Complete with a wet bar, half bath, workshop, and loft, the possibilities for use are endless.
