Built in 1875, this gorgeous historic home is one of only a handful of traditional Second Empire style homes in the area. With its distinctive mansard style slate roof and exquisite double door entryway, the interior of the home is a cozy, modern & elevated space featuring original hardwood floors, an incredible floor-to-ceiling see-through brick fireplace, a lovely front entrance staircase, large floor-to-ceiling windows, and wonderfully high ceilings. The main level has a sweet open kitchen connected by a two- way fireplace to a dining/living area and across the hallway is another spacious room perfect for dining/lounging & a baby grand piano. A full bath and large laundry room sit at the back of the house with exits to the rear porch. The front entryway includes a closed in foyer which is perfect for storing shoes, jackets & backpacks and helps keep winter weather outside. The upstairs boasts four bedrooms - two with fireplaces, a full bath, extra wide hallway, and a back studio space which connects to the downstairs laundry room by a rear staircase. The home has two unfinished stone basements and ample storage space. Heating is by natural gas radiators and cooling is by window units. There are two lovely rear porches shaded by a stately evergreen magnolia tree, perfect for summertime “porch hangs.” A cute grassy backyard space is perfect for bocce ball and picnics and a detached garage offers ample space for a creative studio, outdoor gear and bicycles. Living on Washington Street is super dreamy! The beautiful historic homes lining this street reflect the city’s rich history as the Queen City and you are just minutes away from world class hiking & biking trails (think C&O Canal Towpath & Great Allegany Passage) and a hop, skip & jump away from a day floating down the Potomac River or swimming at Rocky Gap State Park. You can easily walk to Cumberland’s historic city center, filled with hip restaurants, bars, cafés, and retail shopping, and if you’re into craft beer, several award-winning breweries are nearby. Within an hour’s drive is New Germany State Park, Deep Creek Lake and the Wisp ski resort. With four seasons of outdoor recreation, and easy access to major metro areas like Pittsburgh, Washington, DC, and Baltimore, Cumberland is definitely the place to be!
