About This Home
Charming Victorian home in the heart of Winchester’s historic downtown, move-in ready and ideally located just off the Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival parade route. Rich in character, the foyer, front staircase, living, dining, family room, and main-level bedroom showcase beautiful wood flooring reminiscent of a bygone era. The inviting living room features a bay window and decorative fireplace, while the elegant dining room is highlighted by a stunning chandelier. The updated kitchen offers stainless steel appliances and a large pantry. A side entry leads to a convenient mudroom and rear staircase to the upper level. The spacious main floor also includes a flexible bedroom or office with direct access to the deck and a charming, generously sized backyard—perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Upstairs, the recently renovated primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a spacious layout and an exquisite en suite bath. Two additional bedrooms and two full baths complete the second level. Originally constructed in 1880 (per Historic American Buildings Survey), with a brick main structure and later rear additions, this home blends historic charm with thoughtful updates. Just blocks from downtown amenities—including shops, dining, the Handley Library, and courthouse—and a short distance to the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley and Winchester Medical Center. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Recent updates include a new roof (2023), kitchen appliances and upstairs washer/dryer (2023), new sump pump (2023), and a 3-zone HVAC system.
