Built in 1875, this gorgeous historic home is one of only a handful of traditional Second Empire style homes in the area. With its distinctive mansard style slate roof and exquisite double door entryway, the interior of the home is a cozy, modern & elevated space featuring original hardwood floors, an incredible floor-to-ceiling see-through brick fireplace, a lovely front entrance staircase, large floor-to-ceiling windows, and wonderfully high ceilings. The main level has a sweet open kitchen connected by a two- way fireplace to a dining/living area and across the hallway is another spacious room perfect for dining/lounging & a baby grand piano. A full bath and large laundry room sit at the back of the house with exits to the rear porch. The front entryway includes a closed in foyer which is perfect for storing shoes, jackets & backpacks and helps keep winter weather outside.

The beautiful historic homes lining this street reflect the citys rich history as the Queen City and you are just minutes away from world class hiking & biking trails (think C&O Canal Towpath & Great Allegany Passage) and a hop, skip & jump away from a day floating down the Potomac River or swimming at Rocky Gap State Park. You can easily walk to Cumberlands historic city center, filled with hip restaurants, bars, cafs, and retail shopping, and if youre into craft beer, several award-winning breweries are nearby.
