Description
Who will be the next lucky owner of this very well-preserved, fashionable, turn-of-the-century dwelling at 9309 West Street? Deemed the "Morris-Shannon" house by the National Register of Historic Places, this captivating circa 1900 Victorian gem was the setting of the 1952 Paramount film, "My Son John" featuring the one and only Helen Hayes, Robert Walker, and Van Heflin. Featured in many press releases and articles over the years, this diamond of a home is truly *one of a kind*. This home presents the best of both worlds offering classic Victorian charm and updated, modern features. It went through a $500k thorough and tasteful renovation in 2018, adding mechanical and functional features such as a Burnham Gas Furnace, 55 gallon Electric hot water heater, and a metal roof to last for decades, all while retaining its priceless, traditional finishes. As you go through the home, you will see period trims and moldings, solid wood pocket doors, original knobs and hardware, stunning hardwood floors, and much more. The home is very comfortable and adds the type of character one can only envision a classic movie. A perfect home to live in and enjoy, or create the most desirable Bed & Breakfast/Air bnb. There are two spacious levels, both of which you will look up to 12 foot ceilings soaring from the Center Hall staircase and foyer. To the right of the open entry is a quaint living room/parlor with a freestanding retro gas stove to enjoy a cozy fire, and bonus pub area. Opposite the parlor you'll enter through the glass panel French doors opening to another wonderfully lit living room, or the most perfect home office/library, and the large dining room. Now, the kitchen is the star of the show! Retro appliances include an antique style Elmira gas cooking range and convection oven, and a Galanz refrigerator. Also on this level is a huge kitchen pantry, full bathroom with a step-in accessible shower, and large laundry room with a brand new washer/dryer set, and access to the gorgeous flat backyard. Upstairs you will find an expanded primary bedroom, and two more large bedrooms, one of which was once known as "servants' quarters" and has a back staircase leading to the kitchen. There is ample storage throughout the home, but most particularly in the easily accessible attic which spans the footprint of the house. Just imagine yourself enjoying a cup of morning coffee while overlooking the historic streets of Old Towne Manassas on the swing of the sprawling porch, or second floor balcony with the most beautiful view. Plenty of parking in the long driveway, and all along West St. Located just 2 blocks from the VRE, and Harris Pavilion, where you can explore dining, shopping, restaurants, and immerse yourself in the rich history of the area. Don't miss your chance to make this exceptional home, your very own.
