About the Listing AREC1 - 57581
Built in 1869 as the official rectory for St. James' Episcopal Church — one of the oldest congregations in Fauquier County — this remarkable Folk Victorian residence has stood at the foot of Old Town Warrenton for more than 155 years. It is not merely a historic home. It is a piece of the town's living memory. Set on a half-acre behind a charming picket fence draped in flowering azaleas and shaded by ancient oaks, the yellow clapboard exterior, standing-seam metal roof, asymmetrical cross-gable roofline, and gracious dual front porches are textbook Folk Victorian craftsmanship — authentic to the period in every detail. The twin entries reflect the home's original purpose: one formal door for the parishioners and vestry members who called upon the rector; the other reserved for family life within. The entry hall is anchored by a sweeping staircase with a mahogany newel post and handrail, original wide-plank hardwood floors, and a period stained glass transom above the front door. A charming back staircase adds to the home's authentic character. Ten-foot ceilings carry through the principal rooms. The formal dining room is generously proportioned with original floors, elegant crown molding, and tall windows. A dedicated office with custom built-ins and a full bath on the main level round out a practical and character-rich floor plan. All three bathrooms have been fully renovated while remaining sympathetic to the home's age and character — including one with clawfoot soaking tub, walk-in subway tile shower, and classic black-and-white hex tile flooring. The kitchen has been updated for modern living without surrendering the warmth of the vintage. Upgraded electrical throughout ensures the infrastructure matches the quality of the finishes. Historic Old Town Warrenton is within an easy walk — the restaurants, boutiques, Old Jail Museum, Fauquier County Courthouse, and the very church for which this home was built are all within comfortable reach on foot. A home of this provenance, in this condition, at this address, does not come available often.
