Property Description
This colonial gem in the heart of Charles Town boasts significant history that can be traced to the Washington family. Although the actual date the property was built is not known, the rafter construction with handmade wooden pegs, indicate late 1700's to early 1800's. The house was owned by Thomas Hammond and his wife, Mildred Gregory Washington (daughter of Charles and Mildred Washington) in 1801, based on Jefferson County records. It is believed that Thomas and Mildred lived there until her death in 1804. Jefferson County records show that the property changed owners in 1805.
The house was originally a log home and has been restored and modernized over time. the original wide plank floors and fireplace remain. The main floor features a living room, dining room, kitchen, pantry, half bath and a large laundry room. The upper floor has three bedrooms, an office nook, and a full bathroom. There is a spacious attic that provides ample accessible storage.
The current owner did a complete renovation of the yard, which is now ready for gardening and entertaining. The Garden House behind the main house can be converted into more living space, an office, or studio. The possibilities are many. This truly, one of a kind property, is only a few blocks away from shops, restaurants, the library and farmers market, and awaits a new steward.
