Description
This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of early American history. ''Piedmont'' has been documented numerous times by historians as the most exquisite example of Georgian architecture in West Virginia. Sitting upon 32 serene acres just 2 miles from downtown Charles Town and 68 miles from Washington, D.C. Set back a bc; mile off the main road, privacy is paramount, as the residence sits amidst ample woods, farmland, and rolling hills. The white stone house was built by Robert Worthington, of England, in 1735. This rustic portion of the home has an updated kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom suite with private entrance as well as direct access to the main house. The adjoined brick mansion was later built by Dr. John Briscoe in 1785. The home remained in the Briscoe family for centuries before being passed on to few other caretakers, including the late Jim Lehrer of PBS. Thoughtful improvements have been made over the years to blend historical significance with modern comforts. There is central heating and cooling throughout, granite kitchen countertops, updated bathrooms, newly finished 3rd floor with library, marbled floor wine cellar, fenced vegetable and herb garden, and a full tennis court, to boot. There are multiple out-buildings including a large barn, detached two-car garage, smoke house, pump house, and remnants of a secondary house far back on the property. From the wallpaper room with the earliest wallpaper in America to the master bath suite with copper soaking tub and fireplace, each room is a unique experience to be had. The main floor features an expansive central hall with 18' ceilings, an eat-in kitchen, a formal dining room with access to the garden, a sitting room, and a study/entertainment room. Ascend the main stairs and you will find a 25' x 11' living area adjoining the master and secondary bedrooms with 2 full baths. Upon reaching the third floor, you will find a cozy library with an electric fireplace. The basement exhibits a finished entryway leading to the wine cellar, accompanied by ample unfinished storage space. Come experience the magic!
