This truly one-of-a-kind home, frequently highlighted in various press releases and articles, seamlessly blends classic Victorian allure with modern upgrades. A comprehensive and tasteful $500,000 renovation in 2018 introduced contemporary mechanical and functional features, including a Burnham Gas Furnace, a 55-gallon electric hot water heater, and a durable metal roof, all while meticulously preserving its invaluable traditional finishes. Throughout the home, you'll discover period trims and moldings, solid wood pocket doors, original knobs and hardware, and exquisite hardwood floors, among many other details. This remarkably comfortable home exudes a character reminiscent of classic cinema - an ideal residence for living and enjoying, or for establishing a desirable Bed & Breakfast/Air BnB.

Opposite the parlor, glass-panel French doors open into another beautifully lit living room, perfect for a home office or library, leading into a spacious dining room. The kitchen is truly the heart of the home! It features retro appliances, including an antique-style Elmira gas cooking range and convection oven, and a Galanz refrigerator. This level also includes a generous kitchen pantry, a full bathroom with a step-in accessible shower, and a large laundry room with a brand-new washer/dryer set and access to the stunning flat backyard. Upstairs, you'll find an expanded primary bedroom and two additional large bedrooms, one of which was historically known as servants' quarters and includes a back staircase leading to the kitchen. Ample storage is available throughout the home, most notably in the easily accessible attic that spans the entire footprint of the house. Imagine savoring your morning coffee on the swing of the sprawling porch or the second-floor balcony, overlooking the historic streets of Old Towne Manassas with its beautiful views. The property offers abundant parking in its long driveway and along West Street. Conveniently located just two blocks from the VRE and Harris Pavilion, you can enjoy live music events, explore diverse dining and shopping options, and immerse yourself in the rich history of the area. Easy access to the train station is a significant plus! Don't miss this opportunity to make this exceptional home your own. Be sure to explore the video tour and virtual walkthrough!
