Property Description

This charming Italianate house with Federal influence offers large bright rooms that are warm and inviting. The two porch swings celebrate a time before modern hustle and bustle. This home, built in Charles Town's old-town, is within walking distance of the city's best restaurants, museum, library, post office, farmer's market, banks and a pharmacy. The house offers in-town access yet, on it's elevated lot and new fence, offers privacy to the owners. The old-growth trees (linden, maple, apricot, persimmon and walnut) enhance the feeling of permanency and seclusion.
Built circa 1875 by Andrew Kennedy on part of lot 14 surveyed by the town's founder Charles Washington, this home offers many old-time features not found in today's construction. The floors are all heart pine. Many have been refinished and are breathtaking in their appeal. While the fireplace is currently capped, the next owner may wish to install gas logs accessing the propane that services the vintage Chamber's stove in the kitchen. Chamber's advertised, "Cook with the gas off" with the well-insulated oven which allows it to cook for a time on ambient heat. Chambers also offers a deep well for crock-pot type cooking. Again, unknown in modern stoves. The cabinets as well as the antique glass chandelier accent the vintage feel of the kitchen.
The dining room is large enough for formal entertaining. The pier mirror over the fireplace conveys as it is a part of this home, The Durand chandelier in the living room is from the 1920s and features a Durant art-glass insert in its middle section. Durand was one of the last makers of art-glass in the USA, The leaded glass window in the living room featuring a peacock is derived from the Tiffany pattern and makes the living room entirely unique. The rooms on the first floor all suggesting open space letting in light to always feel welcoming.

The black walnut railing escorts you upstairs to four large bedrooms. The bedrooms are from a time when bedrooms had a size to them, quite different from modern construction. In a bedroom one of Andrew Kennedy's daughters in scribed her name in her Spencerian script in 1886. The upstairs bathroom has yet another leaded glass window featuring parrots playing, based on a Tiffany pattern. This window offers both warmth and privacy.

The current owners chose privacy but if off-street parking is sought, the home has an easement allowing access from the paved alley behind the rear left of the property. Removing a couple sections of the fence could allow for parking or the city has parking passes available for owner's vehicles which allow parking at any meter in the city of Charles Town. The choice is yours.

This home is also remarkable for having level floors which after 148 years is a testament to its solid construction.
