Welcome, history aficionados and potential investors! Step into a world where the past and present merge beautifully in the heart of Stephens City, Virginia. This gem is not just a house, but a piece of history – the Ritenour-Miller and Barley Guest Home, a landmark that has stood the test of time since circa 1810. More than walls and windows; it's a narrative of architectural evolution and elegance. This four-bedroom, three-bath treasure boasts a striking five-course American bond brick facade, complemented by a classic gable roof. Step onto the welcoming one-story front porch, and you'll be greeted by the timeless beauty of a five-bay federal dwelling, complete with a one-story protruding bay and a 1.5-story rear ell. The home sits proudly on a large corner lot right in town, offering not just space but a sense of belonging. In 2024, the hardwood floors were refinished, adding to the charm while ensuring comfort. The house now features all-new energy-efficient mini splits installed in 2022, ensuring year-round comfort without compromising its historic integrity. The roof and gutters, newer windows, and even the kitchen have seen updates and renovations, blending the old with the new seamlessly. And let's not forget the practicalities – a new washer and dryer in 2022, partial replumbing, and drywall repaint in 2024, ensuring this historic home meets today's standards. New hot water heater and sump pump. Nestled next to the Newtown Commons, with public parking in the rear lot, its location is unbeatable. Imagine the possibilities – zoned RO for professional and business offices, it's ready for medical, law, real estate, financial, or insurance offices. And with a Special Use Permit, the dreams expand to a restaurant, brew-pub, microbrewery, or retail space. Could also be a specialty shop, personal services, home occupation, a school, a church, dance school or funeral home. High traffic, great exposure – it's all here! Whether you're drawn by its historical allure or its business potential, the Ritenour-Miller and Barley Guest Home is a canvas awaiting your vision. It's not just a property; it's a legacy waiting to be part of your story. Don't let this opportunity to own a piece of Stephens City's heritage pass you by. This is a project home or workspace.
