About this home
Nestled in the heart of Old Town Warrenton, this exceptional custom home is a rare blend of history, craftsmanship and timeless character. Built in 1955 by renowned local furniture and cabinet maker Ralph Appleton, the residence is a true showcase of his artistry, featuring exquisite custom crown moldings, handcrafted kitchen cabinetry and signature arched doorways that reflect a level of detail seldom found today. Located on a private lane and walking distance to all that makes Old Town Warrenton so special.
Wrapped in classic cedar siding, the home exudes warmth and authenticity from the moment you arrive. The inviting front porch sets the tone with an ideal place to relax and take in serene views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Inside, rich original hardwood floors and sun-filled spaces create an atmosphere that is both welcoming and refined.
The spacious yet cozy living room is anchored by a wood burning fireplace, offering the perfect balance of comfort and openness, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The home offers three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, each filled with natural light and charm. Step outside to the deck overlooking beautiful garden area, creating a peaceful outdoor retreat.
This home is truly special as it stands, yet also presents an incredible opportunity to expand and customize. The attic and lower level already offer finished space, while still providing an open canvas for future vision. The expansive attic could be transformed into a spectacular primary suite and the walk-out lower level offers endless possibilities, whether additional living space, guest quarters or recreation areas.
Situated on a generous half-acre homesite within town limits, the property offers a rare combination of space, privacy and convenience. Just moments from Main Street, enjoy all that Old Town Warrenton has to offer, charming locally owned shops, restaurants, galleries, farmers markets, and year-round community events, all set within a picturesque historic setting.
A truly one-of-a-kind offering, this remarkable home captures the essence of craftsmanship, character, and potential, offering both immediate charm and the opportunity to create something even more extraordinary....
