Historic home with untapped potential in Washington. Set on 3.8 serene acres in the Sunny Ridge Historic District, this 1846 Colonial contains elements of the original house which was built in 1768 on the same location. With approximately 4,200 square feet of living space, the home’s six bedrooms and three full, two half baths provide a flexible layout ready for a thoughtful renovation. The proportions of the rooms reflect the era – cozy in scale yet filled with authentic detail: original wood floors, period moldings and working fireplaces that speak to nearly two centuries of character. A large eat- in kitchen and extended screened porch add to its charm. Outside, the 3.8 acre parcel balances privacy and manageability. Surrounded by mature trees and open lawn, there is ample space for gardens, patios, or potentially a pool. Four outbuildings can be used as garages, sheds or possibly a pool house. The location on Sunny Ridge Road, with its historical significance and easy proximity to the Depot’s shops, dining and cultural amenities, makes the setting especially desirable. This is an opportunity to write the next chapter of a Washington landmark. Exact property acreage is subject to completion of new survey and lot line revision.
