Home Details

Whether you are looking for a relaxing weekend sanctuary or a full-time residence, this exquisitely built historic in-town home in charming Little Washington, Virginia, has it all. The Lewis Turner House is an upscale, architecturally distinctive home located on desirable Mount Salem Avenue in the county seat of beautiful Rappahannock County. This quality built all-brick American Tudor Revival home features elements of distinction including two stately brick chimneys, a high-pitched long-lasting slate roof, copper gutters and downspouts, characteristic mullioned windows, and a wood door with leaded glass. Meticulously restored in 202223, the charm and many original fixtures were retained while at the same time bringing systems up to modern standards, including new plumbing, upgraded electrical, and a new HVAC (heat pump with oil backup). Solid oak hardwood floors flow throughout the house, with the exception of the gorgeous old pine flooring in the original kitchen, and are complemented by the solid wood 8-panel doors. Be charmed by the telephone alcove in the foyer once a centerpiece of a 1930s home but now wired to act as a cell phone charging station. The large and spacious 1st floor rooms allow for comfortable and gracious entertaining and family life. The two working fireplaces in the living and family rooms offer comfort and warmth on a blustery winters night, while the outdoor brick porch with gracious arched columns and a slate floor provides a relaxing and private entertaining space for family and friends in the spring, summer, and fall. The bright kitchen has been carefully expanded and restored and retains its original porcelain statement 1930s farm sink. The notable original cabinetry has been enhanced and brought up to modern standards with soft-close drawers. Additional kitchen improvements include high-end quartz countertops, quality appliances, a beautifully styled range hood, and enhanced recessed lighting to complement the retained original 1930s light fixtures. The four upper bedrooms and historic trunk room are spacious and light-filled and have ample closets. The two bathrooms, although almost completely redone, retain the old-world charm while introducing a touch of practicality with a mix of marble and porcelain floor and wall tiling, updated vanities, modern lighting, and attention given to storage. Most other light fixtures in the house are vintage originals. The enormous walk-up attic with flooring and windows, as well as the full-house basement modernized with extensive recessed lighting and electricity, offer the opportunity for many potential creative uses. The 1-acre estate on a quiet street offers privacy for outdoor uses while having the unusual benefit of in-town living, including a large sunny front lawn surrounded by mature trees; a spacious, shaded back yard with wooded glades inviting a wide variety of song birds; and a historic barn/outbuilding. The home is in easy walking distance (2 blocks) of the towns historic courthouse, museum, theater, shops, and the 5-star rated (3-star Michelin rated) Inn at Little Washington. It is also within short drives to nearby vineyards, additional impressive restaurants, and the Shenandoah National Park, providing numerous activities for outdoor enthusiasts. Less than 3 miles from the stunning vistas of Massies Corner and surrounded by the spectacular countryside of Rappahannock County, it is nonetheless only 30 minutes to the towns of Warrenton, Culpepper, and Front Royal, and 1 hour to Dulles International Airport and Charlottesville Airport. Dont miss this rare one-of-a-kind find. Relax! Enjoy! Please come and see -- all are welcome. (EEOC Owner is a licensed Real Estate Agent.)
