Property Description
Welcome to the "Alyn Reed Home," a breathtaking Queen Anne Victorian built in 1898 & listed on Virginia's Historical Registry. A true masterpiece of early Colonial Revival architecture, this home offers a rare blend of vintage charm & modern comfort. Alyn Reed is the brother of Walter Reed, of the Walter Reed Hospital. Architectural beauty abounds, from the intricate gingerbread trim & original quarter-sawn oak flooring to large pocket doors, raised-panel wood doors & ball-and-claw bathtubs. The home features four fireplaces with ornate iron covers & ceramic tile surrounds, adding a warm & inviting ambiance—a grand foyer with a beautifully crafted staircase where timeless elegance greets you at every turn. The expansive wrap-around porch, with a striking gazebo, invites you to relax & soak in the historic charm of nearly 3/4 of an acre of lush grounds. Inside, the spacious, light-filled rooms are perfect for gatherings, including a large dining room ideal for hosting holidays.
