Step back in time and experience the charm and character of this 1780 log farmhouse—an exceptional home for those who appreciate antique craftsmanship and the stories of the past. Originally owned by George Morgan, a Revolutionary War soldier who fought alongside Gen. Washington at Piscataway in 1776, this home stood as a silent witness to generations of history. By the early 1800s, the property was passed to Walter Selby, a prominent Shepherdstown merchant, who leased the property to tenant farmers. His daughter, Eliza, later married Col. John Francis Hamtramck, a man appointed by President John Quincy Adams to serve as Indian Agent to the Osage Nation. The winding driveway brings you to the home’s attached two car garage where you also have ample driveway parking space. Walking through the front door you instantly feel as though you are journeying back in time. Upon entering, your first stop should be the inviting porch with three skylights, a metal roof, relaxing swing & ceiling fans—a welcoming space to unwind and take in views of the private pond, fenced pastures, surrounding farms, and the Blue Ridge. To the side of the home stands a modern 30x40 pole barn and access to a mile of scenic mowed trails, some lined by native dogwoods, that wind throughout the rolling 10-acres. Inside, exposed wooden beams, original brick walls, and a converted gas fireplace (2020) create a warm, inviting atmosphere with plenty of natural light that highlights all the wonderful features of this home. The 1929 parlor addition features built-in cabinetry and a trapdoor leading to the walkout basement, with its original stone cooking hearth, adding unique character to the home. Recent updates, like the addition of double-pane high efficiency windows throughout & energy-efficient heat pumps, ensure comfort without compromising the home’s timeless charm. The kitchen features Craftmade cabinetry, complete with pull-out drawers, pairs beautifully with a Five Star six-burner gas stove with a griddle, gas oven, plus an electric convection oven. It also overlooks the heart of the home where loved ones can gather. A private staircase leads to a bonus space on the upper level, perfect for a home office or guest space. This room has an additional staircase to a fully floored attic that offers plenty of storage. You'll find three spacious bedrooms that reflect the home’s enduring character. Heart pine floors and the remnants of a closed-off fireplace continue the home’s legacy. A full bath with open-beam ceiling, a soaking tub with rainfall shower, and separate water closet complete the second floor. A second stairway brings you back down to the living room. In 2014, an architect-designed primary suite addition was built featuring heavily insulated exterior walls, antique doors, and old rim locks with ceramic knobs. This suite includes a walk-in closet, en-suite bath with tile floors, dual-sink vanity, antique reproduction medicine cabinets, beautifully tiled shower with a bench seat & frameless glass enclosure. The main-level laundry & powder room add to the home’s functionality. Many closets are sprinkled throughout, there is no shortage of space to store your items. With three heating zones, plus supplementary heating in the bathrooms, this home ensures comfort year-round. Key updates include a high efficiency German-made Buderus oil burner & boiler, new oil tank & HVAC in 2015, a newly drilled well (1.5 years ago), water softener, sump pump, large pressure tank, and carbon/sediment filtration. From the 1840s Greek Revival-style window trim to the gas fireplace, every corner of this home tells a story & you can read all about it in a book by the current owner called ‘Frontier Cabin Story: The Rediscovered History of a West Virginia Log Farmhouse.’ It’s not just a house—it’s a connection to the past and to the history of Shepherdstown and the wider Eastern Panhandle of WV waiting for its next steward.
