Description

A DISTINCTIVE HISTORIC HOME WITH WATERFRONT SETTING & INCOME POTENTIAL A PROPERTY OF UNCOMMON CHARACTER, SETTING, AND VERSATILITY. SET ON NEARLY AN ACRE IN HISTORIC BUCKLAND, THIS EXCEPTIONAL OFFERING PRESENTS A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A TWO-HOME PROPERTY THAT COMBINES HISTORIC ARCHITECTURE, MODERN RENOVATION, NATURAL BEAUTY, AND INCOME-PRODUCING POTENTIAL.

AT ITS HEART IS THE PREMIER RESIDENCE AT 8203 BUCKLAND MILL ROAD—AN EXTRAORDINARY PRE-CIVIL WAR FARMHOUSE DATING TO APPROXIMATELY 1860. THOUGHTFULLY AND COMPREHENSIVELY RENOVATED IN 2010, IT RETAINS THE CHARACTER AND PROPORTIONS THAT GIVE HISTORIC PROPERTIES THEIR ENDURING APPEAL WHILE OFFERING THE COMFORT AND FUNCTIONALITY OF A MODERN RESIDENCE.

THE GRACIOUS FLOOR PLAN OFFERS THREE BEDROOMS AND TWO-AND-A-HALF BATHS, WITH BEAUTIFUL WOOD FLOORS, UPGRADED COUNTERTOPS, RECESSED LIGHTING, A FORMAL DINING ROOM, AND A VERSATILE BREAKFAST AREA. THE RENOVATED PRIMARY BATH AND WALK-IN CLOSET CREATE A PRIVATE RETREAT, WHILE THE ATTIC PROVIDES SUBSTANTIAL STORAGE AND POTENTIAL FOR FUTURE USE, SUBJECT TO APPROVALS.

OUTSIDE, WOOD SIDING, STONE ACCENTS, RETAINING WALLS, A GENEROUS SLATE PATIO, AND A COVERED PORCH WITH SWING CREATE A TIMELESS SETTING. THE PROPERTY ADJOINS OPEN SPACE AND BROAD RUN AT THE MOUTH OF LAKE MANASSAS, OFFERING APPROXIMATELY 200 FEET OF WATERFRONTAGE AND A PEACEFUL CONNECTION TO NATURE. THE SETTING IS IDEAL FOR FISHING, WILDLIFE VIEWING, AND ENJOYING THE CHANGING SEASONS.

ADDING EXCEPTIONAL VERSATILITY IS THE SECOND DETACHED SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE AT 8205 BUCKLAND MILL ROAD, CURRENTLY LEASED FOR $2,000 PER MONTH. IN GOOD CONDITION, IT PROVIDES IMMEDIATE RENTAL INCOME AND COULD ALSO SERVE AS A RESIDENCE FOR EXTENDED FAMILY, GUESTS, OR FUTURE PERSONAL USE. WHILE MORE MODESTLY FINISHED THAN THE PREMIER HOME, IT IS A VALUABLE AND PRACTICAL COMPLEMENT TO THE PROPERTY.

COMMUTER LOTS ARE LOCATED WITHIN APPROXIMATELY FIVE MILES, OFFERING CONVENIENT ACCESS TO NORTHERN VIRGINIA WHILE PRESERVING THE PROPERTY'S SENSE OF RETREAT.

THE DISTINCTION OF THIS OFFERING LIES IN ITS UNCOMMON COMBINATION: A BEAUTIFULLY RENOVATED PRE-CIVIL WAR FARMHOUSE, A SECOND DETACHED RESIDENCE WITH ESTABLISHED RENTAL INCOME, NEARLY AN ACRE OF LAND, WATERFRONTAGE, AND ADJACENCY TO OPEN SPACE AND PUBLIC LAND.

FOR THE DISCERNING BUYER, THIS IS MORE THAN A HOME. IT IS A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A PIECE OF VIRGINIA HISTORY WHILE ENJOYING MODERN COMFORT, PRIVACY, NATURAL BEAUTY, AND THE FLEXIBILITY OF A SECOND RESIDENCE.
