23 Fairfax St, Warrenton, VA 20186

Description

It’s rare to find a house that keeps its 1939 charm while feeling completely updated, but this home hits that sweet spot. Located right in town, you can easily walk to Main Street for dinner, parades, and First Fridays, or take a stroll down to Carousel. The current owner has poured a ton of love (and meticulous maintenance) into this property. Outside, you’re greeted by a classic combination of stucco with a stone foundation, a new stone walkway, and stacked stone flowerbeds packed with perennials that come back beautifully every year. In the summer when the trees fully bloom, it turns the front porch into a private retreat. Inside is full of character, such as original architectural arches and trim, wall sconces, dining room built in, a clawfoot tub, classic knobs and fixtures, along with solid 5 panel wood doors. All with a fresh, updated feel. The kitchen was updated in 2021 with quartz, navy and white cabinets, large sink, new fixtures, tons of windows, and all new appliances (plus new refrigerator in 2025). The main level bathroom was refinished in 2025 with new fixtures, vanity, paint, plumbing lines, and more. There are also beautiful new light fixtures, which have been replaced throughout the entire house. The backyard is completely fenced in with a deck that is tucked away and very private thanks to the mature trees. A covered carport can be used for parking or as outdoor storage, as the driveway offers additional space for parking outside. Beyond the cosmetics, the home has been taken care of so you can just move right in: Main sewer line was completely replaced in 2025, the stone foundation has been waterproofed, the HVAC was just fully serviced, inspected, and cleaned (2026), the rear retaining wall has been replaced, and back yard fencing have been replaced, partially repaired where able, and stained. Smart keyless entry on the front and back exterior doors, and the Starlink internet equipment can stay with the house. It’s solid, well maintained, and full of charm! Agent/Owner.
