This home checks ALL the boxes for a Virginia country home. Built circa 1830, the Tyler-Bishop house is located on just under an acre and is surrounded by common area. The "cottage" was originally constructed 50+ years after the birth of this Nation. The community of Fauquier Springs was once the site of "one of the grandest resorts that defined the old Virginia Southern tradition." Before the War Between the States, Fauquier White Sulphur Springs was the most celebrated mineral water resort in the country, only a day's stagecoach ride from Washington, D.C. Its visitors were a list of "Who's-Who" of government and visiting dignitaries. One of a kind: This pristine, colonial-era home is a quintessential example of "five, four, and a door" historic American architecture. The central front door has two large first-floor windows flanking it on each side, and five large windows on the second floor, creating the classic "five, four, and a door" elevation. It is Historical but not encumbered by restrictions. It has been restored with care and a critical eye for detail, yet every inch has been improved and preserved. Light pours into every room as a result of the floorplan (just under 4,000 SqFt partially finished basement) and design. This home is the home every other house in Virginia wants to be or become. There is NO HOA! Yet it has all the benefits of maintained roadways, a country club, restaurant, golf, tennis, and a swimming pool all just a short walk away. Various membership levels are available. No membership is required. This home is a quick walk through a wooded buffer to the 10th hole. A conservation easement is in place for the community club land. Astutely and lovingly renovated on all three levels, this grand home includes a new chef's kitchen with granite counters (2024). The three bathrooms have been exquisitely appointed. A plus-plus is the JES waterproofing system in the basement. The owner has installed a new HVAC, new hot water heater, and top-end dehumidifier. Refinished hardwood floors throughout. Main level sleeping/day bedroom with full bath and laundry. Small fenced rear yard for your pup. Extensive hardscape and curated landscaping create a lovely, welcoming property. There is the recent addition of antique reclaimed paver walkways, front stoop (for architectural accuracy) and parking pad. This amazing property backs to woodland with plenty of privacy and places to escape to. Paved paths meander throughout the golf-course community and it's an easy walk to the Rappahannock River. You will love living here, enjoy entertaining, and sharing this special property with family and friends.
