History Meets Luxury in Historic Downtown Leesburg! Rebuilt with the blessing of the Board of Architectural Review, this one-of-a-kind home in the heart of Leesburg is rich with history while offering every modern comfort and convenience. The original structure, circa 1800, was crafted anew to exacting historic specification, down to the foundations, custom wooden door, headers, larger bricks, black metal roof, window placements, and an original stone stoop unearthed during construction. At 2,200 sq ft, the new structure is twice the size of the demolished building and composed of the most advanced modern materials inside and out. The driveway is paved with brick to maintain historic integrity, and utility lines are buried out of sight. The unique layout allows for two off-street parking spaces and a backyard oasis with shed storage, both exceedingly rare in the historic downtown area. Inside the home, custom details harken back to the original 19th century design, including elegant wainscoting and 3/4? hardwood floors with sound barrier subflooring throughout the contemporary, open-concept first level. The gourmet kitchen boasts top-of-the-line GE Café appliances with double ovens, induction stove, wine cooler with bar sink, a high-tech refrigerator that brews coffee, seating at the large 9-foot center island with dishwasher and sink, leathered granite countertops, marble backsplash with recessed LED lighting, and a custom built-in pantry with countertop constructed from original, centuries-old floor joists. Equipped with smart technology, the home?s appliances, recessed lights, ceiling fans and security system can each be controlled remotely. A secret door in the wainscoted hallway opens to a hidden closet, and the first-level full bath showcases Carrera marble floors and a custom tiled walk-in shower with two shower heads. Built-ins flank a gas fireplace and brick mantle in the generous rear family room with a ceiling sound system, bright windows and access to the yard. High ceilings throughout the main level sustain a sense of space and openness, while special insulation in the utility room mitigates furnace noise. The downstairs laundry features high granite counters, shiplap walls, and a French door to the stone sidewalk in the backyard. Upstairs, enjoy three generous bedrooms with ceiling fans, and two full bathrooms. The master suite boasts a large walk-in closet plumbed and wired for a convenient upstairs washer/dryer, plus an en-suite bath with tiled walk-in shower and Carrera marble floors and double vanity. Adding to the charm of the master bedroom, there is a walk-out porch perfect for coffee, cocktails, and watching the sun rise in the east. The second upstairs full bath also features marble floors, as well as a fabulous cast iron tub. Secondary bedrooms display unique historic features like deep paneled windows, large reach-in closets, and a built-in cabinet and bookshelf. A finished eave storage area is fully floored with the same hardwood as the rest of the house. Out back, the fenced yard contains a secluded lawn and flagstone patio perfect for grilling, entertaining and al fresco dining. As a new structure designed to look old, the home has all new, top-flight mechanicals including a new water and sewage tie-in to public lines, and custom rot-proof siding. This highly coveted location is in the beating heart of Leesburg's historic district, just one block from the main thoroughfare and only seconds away from a world of local dining, cafes, craft breweries and more. Truly unique and exceptionally special, packed full of historic charm and modern amenities, and all in an unbeatable Leesburg location, this is one you simply cannot miss!
