Old town charm. Spaciousness. Luxury. Paradise never looked so good. Welcome to the Beckwith House, the oldest and original home in the charming town of Historic Clifton. This sprawling home on a half-acre features 6 bedrooms, 3 full baths, a half bath, a new detached oversized 2-car garage with a huge bonus room above, and is just a minute walk from town. A small portion of what is today’s home was originally built in 1771. By 1862, the home had been expanded and served as General Pope’s HQ. Several additions and renovations later, the home is now a huge rambler with over 5100 square feet of living space. The original home featuring log & plaster walls, wide-plank oak floorboards and large stone fireplace, will take you back over 250 years in time. Upstairs from this room is a large bedroom of similar construct, and a small cellar sits below. Walk back into the Great room, and walls of windows, vaulted exposed-beam ceilings, another stone fireplace, and a view to the completely modernized Kitchen will greet you. Hang out here in quietude and comfort, or take it outside to the expansive adjoining deck where you can relax, unwind, have dinner on nice days, or just take in the yard. In the gourmet country kitchen, you’ll enjoy all of today’s modern conveniences, white shaker cabinets, quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances with a gigantic kitchen island. A long hallway takes you to a powder room, a full bath and the bedroom wing, where 4 sizable bedrooms await. The Master bedroom suite is large and features an ensuite bathroom, a huge fireplace, a wall of closet space, and a door to a private Juliet balcony. The 3 other oversized bedrooms offer plenty of space. Two of them share an exit and face the central courtyard, where you’ll find another large deck, a beautiful and well-manicured cloister. There’s a sprawling lower level that features an enormous recreation room, a den/office room, completely updated full bath, a sauna, a mechanical room, and a bonus room that could possibly be a bedroom; this room had historically been an attached “carriage house” where guests from a century ago could store their carriage. It has an exterior door that empties into yet another cobblestone courtyard with stone walls. Outside, the detached oversized garage is new (2019) and features stairs to an unfinished bonus room above. Plumbed with electrical, water and sewer, you can easily make this a living space. In addition to the decks, courtyards, and garage, there’s a sizable side-yard that gives the kids room enough to play. There's also a whole house generator here. The location is near impossible to beat. Nestled in a quiet side street just off the main drag of the town of Clifton you have access with a minute walk to all the town has to offer. There is a local gathering park across the street, and at the end of the dead-end street is a stunning pastoral park which features a lovely forest circuit walk. The town itself features two 5-star restaurants, and a local pub with a low-key atmosphere & occasional live music. A charming cafe and Peterson’s Ice Cream Depot are also here. Paradise Springs Winery is 3 miles away what’s more is you can hike 4 miles from your doorstep to the winery through the regional trail system. What’s more is you’re removed from the daily grind, but you are not far from civilization. Just 3 miles up the road are shopping, groceries and gas. In a 5-mile radius are several more shopping centers. Costco, Home Depot, Wegmans, and more fine dining are just a short drive away. For commuters, you’re only a 22-mile drive to the DC border, and VRE is but a few miles down the road in Burke; the Vienna Metro is but a 25-minute drive. You can't find a more perfect locale!
