Property Description
Located in the Virginia countryside, Fairfield Farm has a significant history as it was originally built by Warner Washington, George Washington's first cousin. Architect John Ariss designed the Georgian style stone manor with a hipped-roof central block design and walls of irregular native limestone ashlar. Initially built in 1768, additions were made in 1919 to expand the house to its current nine-bedroom layout. The home flows with charm from one room to the next, features include a wood-burning fireplace in the living room, a spacious eat-in kitchen & breakfast room, formal dining room, original hardwood floors, detailed moldings, and exposed stone in the sitting room. There is a two-bedroom, pleasing guest house with well-proportioned rooms, perfect for extended family stays or potential income. The brick outbuildings could be repurposed into a variety of uses such as an art studio or potting shed. Inscriptions B.W., Betty Washington, George Washington's little sister, and F.W. for Fairfield Washington were carved onto the home's walls. The comfortable manor is minutes from Route 7, an hour and a half from Washington DC, and forty-five minutes to Dulles International Airport. Fairfield is a Virginia Historic Landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Starlink internet is available. Furnishings convey with an acceptable offer. Property being sold as-is. 2 DURs available, conservation easement potential.
