The Alexander-Jackson House, circa 1860, is a wonderful, sun drenched, farmhouse that?s been updated with an eye to keeping the beauty of years past. The old wide board floors and local classic Hawkins Stairs are mixed with granite kitchen counters and a jetted soaking tub in the primary bathroom. The kitchen has professional gas stove (underground propane tank), plus there's room for breakfast table in addition to a dinning room. Pantry space and a utility/sun room (perfect to start seedlings in) are also off the kitchen and lead into the garden area. The primary bedroom suite has a jetted tub, ample storage and those old wide-plank flooring wormy floors as do the other bedrooms. There are two more full baths, one on each level for a total of 3 with the laundry centrally located on the upper level. Working from home should be easy enough with most cell phones having service and Comcast internet, but the views might provide a distraction. With a choice of doors into the house via the porches, there is a lot of flexibility as to how the house is used. Not to mention the back stairs make it easy to slip into the kitchen for a late night snack. The house also has the best porches--one in front for the views over the neighbor's pastures and into the Blue Ridge/Shenandoah National Park while the side porch is a double with equally charming views. Little space is wasted as there are storage areas hidden throughout the house. The yard has mature landscaping, raised beds for gardening and herbs, and two large sheds and there's still lots of room for a larger garden. One of the sheds would make a great office or studio space. There is always a perfect porch no matter the weather, with views from the side porch best for viewing the Town of Washington. The half-acre property is on a dead-end street but is close enough to easily walk to all the Town has to offer including town water and sewer. With a location that is quite and feels private, the property shares a back property line with some of The Inn at Little Washington's gardens and walking paths. Centrally located in Rappahannock, it?s close to all the county has to offer: hiking trails, fine dining, CSA?s, art galleries, breweries and more. Keep an eye out too for more photos of the house!
