213 W HIGH STREET

SHEPHERDSTOWN, WV 25443

Welcome to 213 W High Street! Showings begin 5/2 to experience this simply stunning property! This beautifully preserved 2-story residence rests on a double, corner lot in the Historic District. The charming home showcases original architectural elements and offers the perfect balance of comfort, style, and history. Its plaster walls, wood floors and double-hung wood windows have been lovingly maintained. It exudes historical character as you enter through the original front door and into an open foyer with fireplace. A set of original glass paneled doors with transoms lead out to a light-filled sunroom with 12 original six-foot-tall windows! The wainscoting and pickled floorboards encompass this space. The formal dining room creates a gracious space for memorable meals and celebrations. Here a built-in custom bar coordinates with the original fireplace mantle trim while the original, diamond pattern lead glass windows create a distinctive focal point. The dual alcoves provide closet or hutch space. (This area could be renovated to a 1st floor bedroom as the adjacent half bath was once a full bath!) To the left of the entry an elegant, yet comfortable living room is flanked by a grand fireplace and floor to ceiling built-in bookcases. Music played from here can be piped to speakers around the main floor. A standout feature in the kitchen is the custom-built cabinetry with abundant storage space, recycling center, kitchen desk, and display shelves which were all thoughtfully integrated. Beautiful schoolhouse lights were carefully repurposed from a local church remodel while the striking black and white tile floors add a bold, graphic touch. Kitchen finishes include stainless-steel appliances, Corian countertops, and a Kohler farmhouse sink. A powder room is tucked behind a discreet pocket door in the butler’s pantry. An additional flex space lends itself to endless possibilities with floor to ceiling built-in shelves and wondrous natural light (office, guest room, playroom, craft room or even a small home business). The functional mudroom, with sizable utility closet, hosts a walk-in pet shower/cleaning room along with a second small stairway and a hidden cellar door. The rear screened porch leads to a lovely deck path where you will find your very own hidden spa with a hot tub, private changing area and outdoor shower! Adjacent is a custom stone patio with a thoughtfully arranged fire ring and planters that create a harmonious outdoor retreat! Upstairs, the four bedrooms boast historic charm with built-in shelves and aspects of the original fireplaces. The soaking tub in the remodeled full bath is also original to the house. The primary bedroom is a cozy retreat with transom stained-glass art, leaded glass diamond window, an en suite primary bathroom and entry to the second floor sleeping porch. The stairway to the full-house attic is also located off of the sleeping porch. Followed by a cozy second floor TV room (or bedroom) with a built-in desk for homework or gaming! This space flows into the laundry room with separate Kohler deep utility sink and a unique ductless dryer. The next room is currently used as a home office, but could function as a bedroom or be converted back to a kitchenette space. Cabinets along one full wall once outfitted a sink & small fridge! Outside, immerse yourself in the enchanting gardens, where nature and history seamlessly intertwine. The historic rock walls, meandering stone paths, and two custom-built sheds add charm, character as well as utility. The fenced vegetable garden is a true highlight, providing a protected space to grow fresh produce and herbs. The many species of native trees support birds & butterflies while shading the house in the heat of summer. Immerse yourself in the splendor of this historic, small town. Conveniently stroll to the C&O Canal, restaurants, shops, or Shepherd University. Schedule a personal tour to explore this stunning piece of history!
