RARE opportunity and zoned for commercial use too! One of Poolesville's finest and most carefully restored (and modernized!) 1700's colonials is now available in the Historic West End within walking distance of everything in downtown Poolesville. While our forefathers may have built this home over two centuries ago, it has spent the last seven years in the hands of noted designer, homebuilder, and owner Frank Bell, who has transformed this home, along with wife Jocelyn, through the highest level of quality reconstruction, modernization, and enhancement while paying homage to the work of those who came before him generations ago. Upstairs you'll find three finished bedrooms (featuring a second master bedroom--and all with ample closet space), including an incredible nursery/kids room, and two full baths. The recently completed main floor now features one-level living with a master bedroom and bath (with roll-in shower), a modern chef's kitchen with ample cabinet/pantry space, classic dining room w/wood trim and thick crown molding, foyers in both the front and rear of the home, and now a full family room replete with large windows, wood burning fireplace, and amazing period-specific hardwood floors. Also on the main level--a private "pet porch" for your four legged friends and the one-of-a-kind "Frank's Imaginarium" (see the photos for a room that will amaze---and intrigue!). The basement is perfect for dry storage and also has been completely refinished. Throughout the house the quality and care of the restoration becomes obvious in all directions (starting with Hardiplank siding on the exterior)----and make sure you pay attention to the little things as well, like how the doors shut and latch with a reassuring "thonk", the modern and ultra efficient solar-enhanced HVAC, the authentic heart-of-pine floors, or the preserved centuries-old stone or lumber transitions between rooms. Outside is more of the same with stone covered steps, a private high-roofed patio (featuring a painted "haint" ceiling---look it up). mature no-maintenance landscaping, and a heated oversized two-car garage with your future home office (and FIOS!) above it. More storage and parking as well behind the garage. In addition to being surrounded by historic properties (including St. Peter's Episcopal church right next door circa 1847), this home and property are the ultimate in downtown living, meaning you're just a short walk to top-rated Poolesville High School, our recently renovated community pool/splashpark, and downtown dining and shopping. Stroll the brick sidewalks, watch your kids walk to school, or just relax and absorb the history and quality of this home---all of these are possibilities in what is sure to be the best built, most unique and historical homes you'll find in the western county region! Hang your shingle and bring your business with you too!
