About 13316 Downey Mill Rd

Take advantage of this rare opportunity to own a charming historic home nestled along scenic Catoctin Creek. Originally built in 1820, this unique property beautifully blends timeless character with the comforts of modern living. Whether you are searching for a peaceful full-time residence or a relaxing weekend retreat, this countryside gem in the heart of Western Loudoun County offers the perfect escape. An inviting front porch welcomes you into the bright and open kitchen featuring a raised beamed ceiling, white cabinetry, classic subway tile backsplash, and durable butcher block countertops. A cozy pellet stove efficiently heats the entire main level, complementing the oil baseboard heat. Conveniently located just off the kitchen is a combination powder room and laundry area. Just a few steps up, the spacious great room offers the perfect setting for dining and entertaining, complete with a wall of custom built-in bookshelves and warm wood flooring. The home features three bedrooms and 1.5 baths, with beautiful hardwood floors throughout. Two comfortable secondary bedrooms with closets are located just off the great room, while the upper level hosts a generously sized primary suite with a separate den or sitting room and a full bath. Adding to the property’s appeal, the current owners have thoughtfully expanded the usable living space by adding electricity and air conditioning to several outbuildings. One was used as a work from home office while the other, only steps from the main home was used as a cozy family room and music studio, ideal for remote work, hobbies, or creative pursuits. The larger of the two offers a wood stove to keep it toasty warm in the cooler months. The present owners also creatively used an additional cellar level finished room as a second small work from home office. The possibilities are endless depending on your lifestyle! Significant updates include four mini-split AC units (2020), concrete septic tank replacement (2021), new roof and Hardie Plank siding (2015), and replacement windows (2014), offering peace of mind while preserving the home’s historic charm.
