Framed by a picturesque landscape of fields and farms, the THOMAS BROWN HOUSE c.1741 stands apart as one of the most distinctive and oldest log and stone chimney homes in West Virginia that birthed the orchard industry along Middle Creek. Renovated and expanded in 1983, 16" double-sided hewn logs include gun ports high on the walls from a time when West Virginia was a true pioneer settlement. Today the home is lovingly preserved, expanded and adapted for modern living including a fitted kitchen with built-in appliances and pantry, three bedrooms, two full and one half baths, a formal living room and a relaxed family room/loft with one of four working stone fireplaces. Professionally landscaped and maintained, the almost two acre site includes porches, patios, fences and a deck overlooking a DNR stocked trout stream, and Butler Farms offering upland game bird hunting. Original outbuildings include a former smoke house (now an office with half bath), a stone spring house. This home is minutes to I-81 and I-70, Amtrak Martinsburg, Hagerstown Regional Airport and less than two hours to the cultural amenities of Metropolitan Washington/Baltimore. Frankly, you may just prefer telecommuting from the comforts of home and cast a line in the trout stream.....watching the world across the fields and the mountains seems far more relaxing.
