SPRINGLEDGE
A piece of quintessential Virginia countryside, this farm combines the best of old-world charm with modern style. The original log-and-chink portion of the house dates back to the early 1800s and has been expanded with a lovely stucco addition. With 60+/- acres of meadows and woods, a beautiful restored bank barn, and gorgeous views, this home is a delightful haven.
LOCATION: Just south of the quaint village of Middleburg, the property is easily accessible by Rt. 66 or Rt. 50 and is one hour from Washington, D.C. and Dulles International Airport.
RESIDENCE: Modern additions to the original log cabin portion of this home flow seamlessly, making it a residence with both modern charm and old-world flair. Careful attention to detail while restoring this home has resulted in a comfortable, yet elegant atmosphere. The original log-cabin portion of the house includes the dining room and kitchen, with a family room on the upper level. More modern construction in 1994 added ample living space. The home is just as elegant outside as in, with a wonderful brick terrace in the back of the house, and a lovely flagstone terrace on the side.
MAIN LEVEL: The Foyer of this home immediately showcases the elegant details that appear throughout the residence, with marble floor and dental crown molding. The Foyer opens onto the spacious Living Room (24’X17½’), where wide-plank old heart-of-pine floors and a slate fireplace combine with paneled walls and built-in shelving to create a sophisticated, yet welcoming room. Stairs lead from here to the upper level and there are lovely views of the property from the large bay window.
To the right of the Living Room, a wide hallway features a wet bar. Across from the wet bar is a hallway with small Library and a coat closet, and a door to a sprawling wood porch. Continuing from the wet bar, the hallway leads down a few steps to the Dining Room (16’X16’), part of the original house. Exposed long-and-chink walls and rough-hewn beams speak to the heritage of the home. A door here leads to a back brick terrace, and another set of French doors open onto a lovely flagstone terrace beside the house.
The Dining Room opens onto the Kitchen (22’X12½’), which has a unique country feel, with heart-pine cabinets, a porcelain sink, and exposed rough-hewn beams. A large stone hearth with an original hand-hewn mantel reminds one of this kitchen’s history. Modern touches such as bar seating, track lighting, and all the amenities make this a functional as well as beautiful room. Off the Kitchen is a half-bath.
To the left of the Living Room is the first-floor Master Suite. The Master Bedroom (17’ X 15½’) features a wonderful brick fireplace with antique wood mantel, ceiling fan, and a door to outside. A large Master Bath has his-and-her and there is a spacious walk-in closet with built-in shelving.
UPPER LEVEL: A wonderful arched doorway with detailed molding leads to the stairs from the Living Room. An intermediate level, above the kitchen and in the original log cabin part of the house, has a Family Room (16’ X 16’), with original log-and-chink walls, exposed beams, and built-in shelving. A ladder leads from here to a loft/storage area with shelving and a closet.
Further up the stairs is a hallway leading to Bedroom 2 (15’ X 14’), which has an adjacent full bath, large built-in desk with shelving, and a large closet. Bedroom 3 (15’ X 14’) has similar built-in desk and shelving and a closet and shares a full bath with Bedroom 4 (15½’ X 12’), also featuring a built-in desk and shelves, with a ceiling fan and large closet.
LOWER LEVEL: Downstairs is a wonderful Recreation/Exercise Room (26’ X 14½’), with custom rubber flooring and built-in shelving. A door leads from here to outside. An Office (18’ X 18’) adjoins a full bath and has a wet bar with sink and cabinets. There is also a large storage/utility room.
THE PROPERTY: Sited on 60+- acres of quintessential Virginia countryside, the farm has a combination of wooded and open acreage. A classic bank barn contains four stalls, updated with pine walls, a tack room with hot and cold water, a sink and cabinets, and a wash stall. There is also a large machine shed with 2 stalls and round pen. A riding area with stone-dust footing lies down the hill from the barn. There are three paddocks and fields.
An apartment over the barn has one bedroom with a closet and full bath, a living room and kitchen and is accessible by a large wooden deck on the back side of the barn.
