35180 Charles Town Pike

OPEN Sat 5/18 from 2-4PM Welcome to historic Derry's Tavern. Freshly updated with additional landscaping, rebuilt stone walls, updates to the barn, and more! Rich in history, yet offering the comforts of today's living. Zoned AR-1 for a myriad of possible uses, the home is currently a residence. Ideal setting for a business operating out of the home, log cabin, or the barn. Stone walkways lead to both the front and back door. Every room is spacious with high ceilings and natural light fills the spaces with large windows. The log cabin is structurally sound and just waiting for your creativity and predates local record-keeping, believing to be from the 1780-1790s era. Let's talk storage space: currently the log cabin with loft, the floored attic above the Primary bedroom and basement offer ample as well as deep closets and built-ins around the staircases. The original staircase wraps around two fireplaces and is usable, however, we ask that you use the "newer" 1947 one for safety purposes. At the top of the original stairs is the original sleeping quarters with the original wide-plank flooring. The 3rd BR has been updated with newly refinished stained and sanded HDWD flooring. During this owner's tenure, a new septic drainfield was installed, propane heat & AC added, with most older plumbing & wiring replaced. In 2022, updates include a new roof, exterior paint & some interior along with both baths completely redone. The kitchen was modernized in 2005-ish and features pull-out trays in the lower cabinet units, soft close doors and drawers and individual lazy susan turnstiles in the corner cabinets. Granite counter-tops and back-splash make for easy clean-up. In 2023, the microwave , dishwasher, kitchen faucet and washer & dryer were replaced. The terraced flower gardens outside the sunroom window provide a mesmerizing backdrop for the birds, bees, cats, and occasional wildlife visit. The vegetable gardens offer irrigation and high fencing for ease in care & protection from midnight raids by deer. An 35,000 gallon in-ground pool is ready for the summer season and pool equipment has been replaced and updated by this owner.This property is such a delight to see with so much that could be written - that a visit is more than worth your time. The Loudoun Cat Coalition has a colony of TNR cats that would like to stay, but could be rehomed - approx 5 cats.
