Property Description
"The scene is worth a voyage across the Atlantic", Thomas Jefferson October 25, 1783. This monumental location, with its exceptional, protected views is out of the hustle and bustle of the Town of Harpers Ferry. Surrounded by Harper Cemetary and Harpers Ferry National Park, this property sits on .44 acres, which is unique for an intown property in itself, but the view of Harpers Ferry Gap sets 316 Fillmore Street apart. The yard lends itself to many options from expanding the existing home to adding porches and patio to take advantage of the truly remarkable viewshed. Built in 1889, 316 Fillmore Street has been called home to only five families, the longest being 52 years. This home is ready for a new steward who can breathe new life into this very special property. The large living room offers breathtaking views from the bay windows. The stairwell feels like the heart and soul of the home where you can sense days gone by. The dining room, kitchen and full bath are on the main floor as well. The second story has three bedrooms, one being a primary, and a full bathroom. The upper level has two bedrooms with a large closet in between. The lower level has a large room that lends itself to be a recreation room, a smaller room and the utility room. The furnace was replaced in 2024. The chimneys have both been repointed and capped within the past few years. The stone retaining wall along the driveway was also rebuilt at the same time. Wake up to the sunrise through the Gap! 316 Fillmore Street is within walking distance to the train station that has service into Washington DC, hiking, biking, canoeing, tubing, fishing...
