About the Listing HUNC1 - 3316837
Wait until you see the views from the Old Kain/Shewebridge House — a circa 1845 I-house that gracefully bridges Federal and early Greek Revival styles. This historic property can be used as a primary residence, a short-term rental — or both. Including two private parking spots and a stairway leading down to the house, the home sits perched over the Harpers Ferry Historic District overlooking the confluence of the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers, immersing you in the historic beauty of its riverside setting. Bathed in natural light and framed by sweeping mountain and river views, this remarkable residence presents a rare restoration opportunity for preservation-minded and historic home lovers, offering the chance to reimagine one of Harpers Ferry’s most architecturally significant historic homes. Originally owned by Dr. Philip Stephenson, the home is a distinguished three-and-a-half-story brick residence rests on a stone foundation and features a low-pitched end-gable metal roof with flush chimneys, three ranked bays, and two front walled dormers. The entry opens to a veranda overlooking the Harpers Ferry National Historic District, while original architectural details enrich every room — from wide-plank wood floors and pocket doors to 6-over-6 double-hung sash windows framed in bold decorative wooden surrounds and ornate tracery accenting the sidelights and transom of the second-story entry. The main floor offers an oversized foyer with grand staircase, living room, kitchen, and powder room; the second floor includes two bedrooms and a full bath; and the third floor features an additional bedroom and full bath. The daylight basement, with its separate entrance, is a blank slate ready to be transformed into a guest suite or private rentable unit. With its rare combination of outdoor adventure, historic significance, and small-town charm, Harpers Ferry offers a lifestyle unlike any other — the perfect balance of timeless character and modern convenience. Harpers Ferry draws visitors and residents alike with its rich history, breathtaking natural scenery, and vibrant local culture. Residents enjoy easy access to Harpers Ferry National Historical Park, the Appalachian Trail, and the C&O Canal Towpath for hiking, biking, and riverfront exploration. Charming streets are lined with art galleries, boutique shops, and acclaimed restaurants, while seasonal events such as Civil War reenactments, local craft fairs, and the Harpers Ferry Music Festival bring the community to life. Conveniently located near commuter routes and the MARC train, Harpers Ferry offers an easy connection to Washington, D.C., and the greater Baltimore area.
