15545 BUTCHERS ROW, Waterford, VA, 20197

Changes made. Stop by & envision living in this historic property & village. The quaint village of Waterford is a gem (!) and a National Historic Landmark founded in 1733. Take advantage of this unique opportunity to own a part of its early history. This gracious, historic home, now bears the sign 'Market Hill', and was built circa 1805. Mahlon Janney, the son of Waterford's founder, subdivided property he owned on 'the Big Hill,' and kept the best lot for himself. (see the Waterford Foundation write-up in Documents) The original house was built by Edward Dorsey, and over the years has been expanded and changed. Situated on a half acre of mature gardens, including an original log cabin, this home is in need of a loving new owner that can restore and renovate its original features while incorporating modern conveniences. Bring your imagination and your contractor or designer! A large slate patio leads to the signature enclosed breezeway made up of 3 sets of arched french doors creating a welcoming entrance. Inside the breezeway are 3 doors. One leads to the lovely, bright family/living room for a more formal entrance. The middle one leads to the dining room which can elegantly be opened to the patio for gracious entertaining. The third door leads to the back area of the house, including the kitchen. The kitchen, updated in 2016, has Viking appliances, a huge marble topped island, double ovens, 6 burner propane cooktop with vent hood and a pantry. Together there are 4 generous sized bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, 5 fireplaces, two staircases, an upstairs laundry, a roughly finished lower level, a partially floored attic and a 2 car garage - an estimated 4,000 square feet of living space! The adjoining lot, which includes the log cabin, is included in the sale. Seller has engaged various contractors and has select repairs scheduled.
