Property Description

A Masterpiece of History and Modern Luxury in "The First Washington." Welcome to the formally registered Dudley House at 558 Gay Street, a stunning 1890 Late-Victorian estate nestled in the original town surveyed by a 17-year-old George Washington. Situated on land whose title dates back to an original 1798 town grant, this architectural gem has just undergone a complete, uncompromising, top-to-bottom renovation. The current owner has meticulously preserved the home's 19th-century soul while entirely replacing and modernizing its systems, roof, and interior amenities for true turn-key luxury.

Step off the classic front porch into a sun-drenched floor plan featuring beautifully restored original heart pine floors. The home offers two original front parlors—one boasting a cozy fireplace and classic Jefferson window, and another featuring a full shower bath, perfect for a main-level bedroom suite. A spectacular walnut staircase leads to the home's original spacious bedrooms and an expansive, fully updated tiled bath. The heart of the home is the bright, eat-in country kitchen and a spacious living/family room that opens onto a breathtaking back porch, complete with a charming studio/resting room that overlooks the sprawling estate.

Outside, the grounds are nothing short of magical, featuring 12-foot-tall antique boxwoods, a massive blueberry arbor, two majestic pecan trees flanking the residence, a wistful heirloom apple orchard, a small pond, and a year-round stream.

Located just a short stroll from the world-renowned Inn at Little Washington, Patty O's Cafe, local theater, and galleries, and only minutes from Shenandoah National Park and the vibrant communities of Sperryville and Flint Hill. This is more than a home; it is a legacy estate ready for its next historic chapter.
