Property Description
Classic 2100 square foot brick “American Foursquare” house in Winchester's historic district. This very well maintained 1928 home was designed and built by “ole time” craftsmen who had an appreciation for solid, quality construction. What better way to spend wonderful lazy evenings or morning coffee than on the expansive 23-foot long front porch with a ceiling fan. This 4 bedroom, 2 bath home is located in the historic Winchester “Potato Hill” neighborhood and just a few blocks from old town's vibrant Loudoun Street mall. Enjoy numerous locally owned shops, historic attractions, street festivals, city sponsored activities, museums and restaurants. Among the many features are landscaping that emphasizes native trees, shrubs, wildflowers and ferns. The 16x18 wooden rear garage has electrical service and is on the footprint of the original 1928 garage with a new concrete pad, 2 doors, copper roof, gutters and downspouts. In additon, there is an attached carport over the driveway. Hardwood floors in the living room and dining room, laminate in the remainder of the main level with pine flooring on the 2nd and 3rd floors with some carpeting. There are wooden blinds on most of the 1st and 2nd floor windows along with 7 ceiling fans. The unfinished basement has a concrete block foundation and a concrete floor. An extra commode and utility sink are located in the basement. The interior walls are mostly plaster but also include some drywall, brick and pine paneling. This all-electric home features heating and air conditioning supplied by two high-efficiency inverter heat pumps installed in 2023 and seven mini-split air handlers on the first and second floors. High-efficiency 50-gallon hybrid heat pump water heater was installed in 2023. Stacked washer/dryer (new in 2025) conveys. Internet and TV by GloFiber high speed glass fiber cable. The owners have never used the fireplace. Note that the square footage in the city tax records is less than the actual size.
THE AMERICAN FOURSQUARE HOME…….From Mail-Order Home to Iconic Architecture Imagine the United States in the late 19th century in the midst of a growing economy and modernization. Urban communities were developing fast with more Americans leaving rural areas to pursue employment opportunities in the cities. It was a time when families moved away from their multi-generational residences and aspired to live in their separate homes.Enter the Foursquare, one of the most popular styles in the U.S. from the mid-1890s through the late 1930s during the economic boom that resulted in a greater demand for housing. Often mistaken for a Colonial home, the Foursquare is considered a variant of the Prairie Style and is sometimes called “Prairie Box.” With its boxy shape and simple design, the Foursquare – so-called because of its typically square footprint – was a reaction against the ornate and dramatic embellishments of other Victorian-era styles of the period.
