About this property

The new owners of this property have poured love and hard work into this property in the short 6 months they have owned it. They moved here from across the country to Shepherdstown because they absolutely love the area. Sadly, they must move back due to work requirements as a result of Covid-19. One of the significant changes made was the addition of ductwork and vents for a brand new 5 ton heat pump for the heat and central A/C. The window A/C units are gone, the baseboard heat has been removed and replaced with gorgeous new baseboard moulding making the home comfortably warm or cool all year round. The wallpaper in the entry hall and former dining room has been removed and replastered to give it a grander entrance that feels lighter and brighter than ever before. Their change of plans is your gain. Come finish what these owners have started! The Abraham Shepherd Home was built in 1759 and is one of the most distinguished homes in Shepherdstown with an interesting past. Shepherdstown is the oldest town in West Virginia and this is one of the oldest homes on record in the state. With original heart pine flooring,/doors/shutters/hardware, stately trim and deep window insets, it is easy to imagine how grand this property was back when it was built and feels just as elegant and comfortable with today's amenities. There are five fireplace mantles throughout the home, all non-functioning, just waiting for somebody to bring them back to life. The floor to 10ft ceiling shelves in the library are ready for all of your photos, books, and collectibles to put on display and enjoy. The former dining room has been converted to a wonderful family living area with a small storage area/small office to its side. (In this former dining room, there was once a wall border made from photo plates brought from Padua, Italy by Ira Glackens (son of William Glackens) who lived in the home from 1973-1990. These have been carefully stored up in the attic for historians to enjoy.) The partially updated kitchen (cabinets are older) is enormous, has stainless steel appliances, an industrial refrigerator in addition to residential one, a large gas range with an industrial hood, granite counters and a locally-sourced cherry wood floor. The former living room has been converted to a gorgeous, large dining room that can host the most intimate meals or the grandest of dinners. From this dining room, there is a doorway out to the amazing side and back yard with privacy, brick patios and garden plantings all around. The home sits like a postage stamp on 1/3 acre which makes the outside space feel very large and a world away from the town (Spring photos of the property are included in all photos). You can sit under the shade of the mature trees or sun yourself on the lawn and enjoy privacy from the street. Enjoy the sounds and views of Town Run rushing over the rocks past the Grist Mill which is next door. There is a use/viewing easement as well so residents of this property can enjoy the sounds and feel of Town Run from a very short distance. Also in the back yard is an old smokehouse that has been maintained over the years and would make a terrific potting shed. This smokehouse also has storage beneath it for bikes, kayaks, etc., to enjoy the beauty of The Appalachian Trail, the Potomac River (2 blocks) away, and the C&O Canal (a 10 minute bike ride away.) Back inside, the original floors continue up to and throughout the second level where there are 5 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms and a sitting area. All bedrooms are small which is in keeping with the significant history of the home and how they were built back in 1759. The gorgeous staircase continues to the two separate attic access points for a large amount of storage with low ceilings. Come to tour this stunning example of simple but elegant architecture in the heart of Shepherdstown, West Virginia... also known as the Best Virginia to those of us who have chosen this area to be our home.
