Tucked along the most coveted street in Historic Downtown Leesburg, this is a rare and remarkable opportunity to restore and reimagine a piece of local history. Set on prestigious Cornwall Street in NW Leesburg — just moments from the boutiques, restaurants, coffee shops, and community life of downtown — this historic residence is waiting for its next passionate steward.
For the buyer who reveres historic architecture and understands the irreplaceable value of location, character, and craftsmanship, this property offers extraordinary potential. The home is being sold AS-IS with thoughtfully designed architectural plans already approved by the Town of Leesburg’s Board of Architectural Review (BAR), saving the next owner significant time, expense, and uncertainty.
The approved plans expand the residence from approximately 1,840 to over 3,000 finished square feet and envision a beautifully livable historic home with four bedrooms, 3.5 baths, a gracious primary suite, and a modern kitchen flowing seamlessly into open family and dining spaces. Additional features include a screened porch, mudroom, laundry room, and detached two-car garage with driveway parking — all carefully designed to honor the home’s historic integrity while elevating everyday living.
Extensive groundwork has already been completed by the current owner, including over $100,000 invested in architectural planning, BAR approval, site clearing, tree removal, exterior restoration, lead-safe paint remediation, debris removal, and preparation for renovation. The non-historic addition to the guest house has also been removed to better preserve the property's architectural authenticity.
This is not a project for the faint of heart — but for the visionary buyer, the reward is the opportunity to create something truly exceptional on one of Leesburg’s most treasured streets.
Please note: Located within Leesburg’s Historic District, exterior modifications to the home remain subject to BAR approval. Interior renovations are at the discretion of the homeowner. The home may not be demolished.
