Welcome to Melrose Farm – a rare opportunity to own an exquisite manor home just north of Historic Waterford. Built in 1856 and thoughtfully restored in the 1990s, this stately residence preserves its historic charm while incorporating modern updates, offering a perfect balance of classic character and contemporary comfort. Set on a breathtaking 50-acre lot, the property offers unobstructed panoramic views of the Shenandoah Mountains across the scenic Catoctin Valley.

As you enter, you are welcomed by beautifully refinished original hardwood floors, doors, windows, and millwork-preserving the home's historic charm while offering renewed elegance and functionality. Soaring ten-foot ceilings add to the spacious feel and classic appeal of this stately brick Colonial, which proudly showcases its original architectural details, including 10 fireplaces, a three-story staircase, and three inviting porches. The grand living room, complete with two gas fireplaces, provides a warm and inviting setting for gatherings, while the formal dining room-anchored by a stunning fireplace-offers the perfect backdrop for special occasions and entertaining.

Timeless craftsmanship is evident throughout, with custom trim, exposed beams, intricate woodwork, and all-new designer light fixtures. The gourmet kitchen, renovated in 2018, features custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, and Wolf appliances-designed for both beauty and function.

The second floor features three spacious bedrooms, including the primary suite with a spa-like renovated en-suite bath. The fully finished third floor adds two additional bedrooms and a full bath-ideal for guests, a home office, or creative pursuits. The original stone wing offers a versatile space with a private home office featuring a wood burning stove, and an additional living room and bedroom-perfect for an in-law suite or extended stay guests.

Just off the kitchen, a sun-drenched sunroom provides a quiet retreat for morning coffee or an afternoon read. The stone patio surrounded by thoughtful hardscaping is ideal for entertaining, while the recently restored front porch offers the perfect spot to enjoy evening sunsets. A large bank barn with full 100-amp electric service offers additional entertaining space and endless potential. Option to purchase all furniture and farm equipment under separate agreement.
