New and improved price! Welcome to Ashland Manor, a large single family house on a large lot, and with an attached accessory dwelling that can help pay for the mortgage.  Moreover, because of its historic significance and size, conversion to a bed and breakfast in the future may be a possibility.  Back on the market due to loan disapproval, this house is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a well maintained house that has been built of quality materials to last generations. Solid timbers, hardwood floors, and plaster ceilings, reflect its sturdy construction, while multiple fireplaces and architectural features, add charm to this historically rich antebellum home, dating back to the early 1800s.  The story of Ashland Manor starts with the Triplett family, dear friends and neighbors of George Washington. A detailed study of the home's history and incredible stories are available in the Virginia Room of the Fairfax County Library, with some copies available from the current owners. These documents outline the home's evolution, and the importance of its resident, Mary Triplett, to Virginia's history. So much of the home's original charm and character has been preserved, while modern amenities have been added over time to make for the perfect mix of classic and function in today's world.   Highlights of the almost 5, 500 sq ft home include: impressive front portico, classic center hall colonial front and back staircases, distinctive 2 story bay window, 5 fireplaces, a smoke house, wellhouse, original root cellar off kitchen (believed to be oldest part of home circa 1690 s), intricate woodwork, many original windows/glass, hardwoods, etc. The home is currently laid out to allow a multitude of uses, featuring 5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths. The main home consists of 4 bedrooms/2.5 baths while the separate 2 level apartment includes family room, kitchenette, bedroom, full bath, private laundry, and exterior entrance (EXCELLENT RENTAL POTENTIAL!). Situated on almost three quarters of an acre backing to woods and park land allows one to reminisce of how life would have been at Ashland Manor over 175 years ago.   Don't miss a chance to own a significant piece of history!
