Property Description
Proudly located in the storied town of Harpers Ferry, this distinguished circa-1859 Armory residence presents a rare opportunity to own a true piece of American heritage. Once the home of Phillip Burkhart, a documented armorer, and formerly owned by the U.S. Government, this stately brick property exemplifies the craftsmanship and character of a bygone era—seamlessly blended with modern comfort.
The residence retains numerous original architectural details, including intricate moldings, tall ranked bays with two-over-two double-hung sash windows, and an interior brick chimney. A broad, inviting front porch welcomes you into the side hallway-style home, radiating both historic charm and timeless elegance.
Featuring five bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a spacious finished attic, the home has been carefully updated to preserve its historic integrity. At the rear of the property, an attached carriage house—complete with its own private entrance. A charming potting shed/greenhouse adds further character and functionality to the grounds. Recent upgrades include a fully repainted and repointed brick exterior, two new HVAC systems for year-round comfort, and new flooring throughout the main level.
Ideally situated in one of West Virginia's most scenic and culturally rich locales, this property is just a short stroll from the vibrant streets of downtown Harpers Ferry, where you'll find boutiques, dining, and historic landmarks. Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy immediate access to world-class hiking on the Appalachian Trail and biking along the C&O Canal Towpath—both within walking distance of this immaculate home. For commuters, the MARC train station is a short walk with direct service to Washington, D.C., offering the perfect blend of small-town serenity and urban convenience.
