Inside, you'll find hardwood floors, three fireplaces, and a stunning blend of historic charm and modern upgrades. The updated kitchen and renovated bathrooms provide today's convenience without sacrificing period character. Most furniture conveys, allowing for an easy turnkey transition. Outdoor living is exceptional with plenty of off-street parking (a rarity in Harpers Ferry) and a detached oversized one-car garage for additional storage or hobby space. Enjoy peaceful outdoor spaces and the convenience of being within walking distance to historic downtown Harpers Ferry, the National Park, shops, restaurants, hiking trails, and the rivers. This property has been lovingly maintained and is in excellent condition, offering an unmatched combination of history, space, location, and opportunity.
