Description
Locals in Historic Warrenton know this iconic home as the “yellow house on the hill.” From the time you drive up the circular driveway, you are mesmerized and captivated by this stately light-filled 1889 Victorian estate! This timeless beauty is situated so prevalently on its own hillside which has stood the test of time! WELCOME HOME… This magnificent historical footprint boasts of 6 beautifully appointed grand bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms. Although this impeccable home went through its major renovations in 1982, there was an addition built in the 1990’s where there is a full unfinished basement accessible from the master bedroom. There is also an accessible crawl space on the older portion of the home. Beautiful restoration and renovations continued to its glorious state offering all the elegance of the modern 21st century without sacrificing the historical 19th century era. From this welcoming covered front porch, the newly replaced roof (2024) and copper gutters span the length of the heart of this home. Ninety percent of the exterior wood has been replaced with a 10 year warranty on the paint. Strong Victorian accents, to the deep rich double oak doors with inlaid custom stained glass, you can’t help but feel the excitement for what lies beyond this stately threshold! As you enter, you are greeted by the most gracious foyer of original refurbished hardwood floors throughout the main level and an exquisite formal living room accented by crown molding, a period chandelier and one of five fireplaces which have retained its gorgeous original stone hearths. There is one of three staircases which have the most beautiful wood turned newels which were prevalent for this time period that speak volumes as to the character and charm of this home. As you move through each exquisitely decorated room, you will see throughout, some of the remnants of the time period which were purposely left, one of which is the 1889 wood burning stove which sits as it should, in the family room which is always such the conversation piece of the home with friends and family. The space would not be complete without a newly installed wet bar, with granite countertop, a sink and an impressive wine refrigerator. This room is incredibly light filled as windows span across almost the entirety of the rear of this home. You will absolutely love the chef’s kitchen with white custom cabinetry with glass shelving, lighting within and under cabinets and all stainless appliances (2023 KitchenAid Microwave & Oven). A new water purifying system was also installed. The gourmet kitchen includes a large eat-in nook for family dining and an amazing view of the back yard where you can see the beauty of the pastoral view. The primary bedroom is truly a sanctuary with the beautiful chandelier ceiling fan as a focal point surrounded by custom crown molding and the spacious walk-in closet with custom built-ins. The serenity ensuite has an oversized stand-alone soaking tub with separate shower. Remaining oversized bedrooms have walk-in closets which everyone will love! Outdoor entertaining on the weekends with friends and family with all the amenities you can imagine are all at your fingertips with a fully equipped outdoor kitchen and Italian pizza oven underneath a gorgeous pergola! This outdoor compound offers an amazing in-ground saltwater granite pool, jacuzzi, 8-person sauna. Don’t miss the finished area above the 2-car garage where you will find true “mancave/game room?!” Family, friends and guest may never want to leave after they experience this gorgeous oasis of a backyard! It is a rare find at 8579 Opal Road, from the moment you walk in, not only are you transported back into time, but it’s rare that you experience the warmth that this home brings to whomever enters it. Easy access to major highways, shops, dining, wineries/breweries***You will not be disappointed.

"Character, character, character. Neat, charming small town (bell toles the hour at the court house) in the Virginia Piedmont. Home is within walking distance to down town Old Town Warrenton shops and restaurants, etc. The immediate area has 5 grocery stores all within about a mile. There's a hospital on the hill in town should you need one and beautiful countryside literally minutes from town. Fauquier County is striving hard to retain its rural character and a large percentage of the farmland and open spaces are protected by historic/scenic/conservation easements, etc. so will remain as they are in perpetuity. Fauquier also boasts a large number of wineries and beautiful Skyline drive in the Shenandoah mountains is just a 45 minute drive away. Over all, a very high quality of living is to be found here. Within one hour of Washington, DC/Northern Virginia. This home is for those looking for a charming place to live. Warrenton was just listed as the 7th safest town in Virginia. "
