About this home
FROM CIVIL WAR CROSSROADS TO MODERN-DAY RETREAT
Some homes have a history.
Others have stood quietly while history unfolded around them.
Built in 1860, 1053 West Washington Street has watched more than a century and a half pass from its place in historic Bolivar, overlooking a landscape that would soon become one of the most contested crossroads of the American Civil War.
Just months before its earliest years, John Brown's raid on nearby Harpers Ferry shook the nation. By 1861, war had arrived. Soldiers marched through Bolivar. Armies occupied the surrounding heights. Union and Confederate forces fought for control of this strategic gateway to the Shenandoah Valley.
In 1862, Stonewall Jackson's forces surrounded Harpers Ferry, with Bolivar Heights becoming the center of the Union defense, as the fighting returned.
Then, in 1863, artillery fire struck Bolivar and damaged civilian homes and through those turbulent years, this brick home stood along Washington Street.
Today, behind its historic brick exterior is a home beautifully brought back to life—where the character of another century meets the comforts of modern living.
This three-bedroom, two-bath home has been thoughtfully updated throughout, preserving the character and charm of its past while creating a warm and inviting place for today.
Whether you're looking for a full-time residence, a weekend escape, or a distinctive short-term rental, this is a place to experience Bolivar, Harpers Ferry, and the surrounding mountains from a home with a story all its own.
More than 160 years of history have already been written here, perhaps the next chapter is yours....
