329 Old Bridge Rd

Step into history, in this wonderfully reimagined home celebrating its 150th birthday this year. Once a United States Post Office and store serving the Fauquier and Culpepper rural areas with a detached Postmaster's home within a few feet. It is now a single structure encompassing both buildings and creating an exceptional home. The blend of historic and modern architecture will impress you with great proportions, stone work, and a creative floorplan. Hardwood floors are a feature throughout all three floors of the home. You will love the high ceilings and the main floor bedroom which has its own fireplace and an on-suite full bathroom. The property underwent nearly a total overhaul 20 years ago. Sellers made strong design choices to enlarge and connect the living areas. You enter the home via the generous wrap around porches and large double doorway with stained glass transom. It will be easy to imagine gatherings with everyone at one table in the 37ft X12ft sunny dining room. You will see floor to ceiling library shelves for your books sculptures collections in the room the sellers called the "Bibliotheca." The heart of this home is the country kitchen with a cozy woodstove. The kitchen, which connects all areas of the home, features a handcrafted rolling island to make it easy to reconfigure however your favorite chef might desire. Move up the stairs to the second level you will find two large bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a laundry conveniently tucked in. There is an additional living room here with a fireplace on this floor and a sitting area. The third/top floor is nicely finished with knotty pine paneling and wood flooring. There is great cross ventilation up here with opposing windows and views of the Rappahannock River and the historic Waterloo Bridge. This is much more than reclaimed attic space. Let your imagination take charge. On the property there are hundreds of varieties of plants, bushes, and perennial flowers in the landscape and around the house for your year-round enjoyment. Spring promises to surprise and delight your senses outdoors. The home also has two detached artist studios or workshops in the backyard. Lighting and electrical outlets are installed for the small studio and half of the larger shop. The larger shop features two gardener closets that open into the yard for very convenient use of outside space for garden implement storage. You will be elated to own the separate parcel that has 700 ft of river frontage for exploring and strolling along the Rappahannock River. This riverside parcel is studded with Virginia native hardwoods and spring ephemerals. Make an appointment soon.
