Steps from the World-renowned Inn at Little Washington, Winsor House is a classically elegant 3 building Village compound ideal for a family retreat, live-work refuge or surprising retail-commercial and event venue. 199 Main Street is the PRIMARY RESIDENCE, completely remodeled and restored. Originally built circa 1900 now it is a calm, warm and lovely home with an impeccable reimagining. The main level of Winsor House offers two floor to ceiling stone fireplaces, one in the spacious Family Room to the right, the other in the light-filled Great Room to the left. ÂRich hardwood floors flow on this level. An exceptional kitchen and dining area, located at the back of the house with French doors that open to the gracious natural IPE deck. The current and chic kitchen features open shelving with base cabinets, butcher-block island and Bosch stainless steel appliances and vent hood. A large powder room is also on the main. 3 Bedrooms up are light and bright with a contemporary bunk room sleeping at least 4 on this level. The Bathroom is an elegant grey and white design of marble and tile with top notch fixtures throughout. New Old structures with newer roof, newer gutters, newer flooring, newer systems including HVAC, newer paint and fixtures...and Comcast. The spacious fully fenced wood and wire yard outlined by mature boxwoods and graceful tall trees has been recently highlighted on the Virginia Historic Garden week. The Second building at 195 Main Street is the expansive STUDIO currently home to the prestigious retailer August Georges (retail business not part of the sale). This is amazing space with high vaulted ceilings, exposed rough hewn beams with lighting, large windows with wavy glass most original to its age and an oversized bathroom. This space could continue as retail or afford an extraordinary live-work environment. The Front portico with flagstone flooring is a lovely gather space all its own. A COTTAGE behind is superb for a classroom, a hideaway, exercise room or for your gardening. The grounds are fresh and lively, front and side parking and all in the heart of the town the young Surveyor George Washington took great care to note. Winsor House is about 90 minutes to DC and yet feels like its a million miles away.
