14127 HARPERS FERRY ROAD

Set on 3+ acres just outside the historic village of Hillsboro, established in 1752, this circa 1833 home began as the Salem Methodist Church and its detached schoolhouse. Both structures were built with local fieldstone walls 23 to 24 inches thick, and a late-1960s addition adds cypress siding. Today, the former church serves as a gracious entrance, with its original doors opening to a great room featuring vaulted ceilings and an expansive wood-burning fireplace. Artfully updated over the years, the home's 3,272 finished square feet still capture its true essence -- from the stunning stone flooring in the former church to heart-of-pine and oak floors, black walnut fireplace mantels, and vintage wall sconces. The main house includes 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and 2 half baths, plus a 714-square-foot detached guest house. Historic charm and thoughtful updates come together seamlessly across both structures. The grounds are equally compelling, with a front porch, screened porch, expansive patio, manicured gardens, walking trails, and a barn for animals -- all just off Route 9, amid the area's award-winning wineries, a short drive from downtown Purcellville.
