Property Description
Built in 1759, the Abraham Shepherd Home is one of the oldest and most iconic residences in West Virginia. Tucked into the heart of Shepherdstown—West Virginia's oldest town—this distinguished property offers a seamless blend of historic grandeur and thoughtful modern updates, including rare off-street parking—a significant advantage in the historic district.
Original heart pine floors, hand-crafted woodwork, deep window insets, and five decorative fireplace mantels preserve the soul of the home, while a series of tasteful renovations bring it into the present day with style and comfort. The layout has been enhanced for today's living, including a reimagined family room, a stunning dining space perfect for entertaining, and an expansive picturesque kitchen.
Modern updates continue throughout the home, including updated bathrooms, mechanical systems, and a custom master bedroom suite. The light-filled library boasts floor-to-ceiling shelving, ideal for displaying books and cherished collections. Upstairs are five bedrooms, two full baths, and a cozy sitting area, all featuring original wood floors.
Outside, the home sits on a third of an acre—a generous lot that feels like a private retreat, with brick patios, mature landscaping, and the soothing sound of Town Run flowing past the neighboring Grist Mill. A preserved smokehouse offers space for storage, gardening, or creative use.
