Property Description
168 High Street stands within Warrenton's Historic District on approximately 1.15 acres (two parcels)—a rare in-town estate steps from Old Town's shops and dining. Long regarded as one of the district's signature addresses, High Street offers architectural pedigree, walkable convenience, and the quiet respite of tree-lined blocks—an exceptional setting for everyday living.
Framed by a vintage cast-iron fence and crowned by a recently replaced solid copper roof (2021), the residence marries historic presence with thoughtfully elevated comforts. Beyond the freshly repainted full-length front porch, the formal, fully fenced grounds unfold with mature oak, walnut, magnolia, redbud, and dogwood, clipped hedges, and four-season perennials. A flagstone walk leads to the rear gardens where a secluded in-ground pool and broad covered back porch create a natural stage for celebrations—birthday parties, summertime gatherings, and easy weekend lounging. A small koi pond, brick one-car garage, double driveways, and available street parking add everyday practicality.
Inside, original hardwood flooring and a central foyer introduce gracious rooms scaled for both entertaining and relaxing: a large office with fireplace/insert and a bay-windowed front sitting/TV room open toward a formal dining room. The fully renovated, permitted gourmet kitchen centers the home's day-to-day ease with an oversized island, abundant prep/storage, high-end appointments, and an AGA Legacy 44" dual-fuel range. For service and catering, the home retains its original (second) kitchen and a classic butler's pantry. Dual entries connect the kitchen to both sides of the house and the rear porch, streamlining indoor-outdoor hosting.
Upstairs, the main house offers four bedrooms. Three generous secondary bedrooms share two well-appointed baths. The renovated owner's suite features extensive Wellborn cabinetry and a modern bath with walk-in shower, ample built-ins, and radiant heated floors—a refined comfort in every season. A cabinet-equipped laundry area sits on this level, and a rear hall balcony overlooks the pool and gardens.
The lower level supplies expansive storage with a rear walk-out beneath the full-length back porch. Tucked discretely at the back of the property, a guest cottage provides one bedroom and one full bath, is heated and cooled, includes a full kitchen, and features independent laundry—an adaptable space for extended stays, guests, or a quiet retreat (confirm any desired use with local regulations).
With its historic significance, elevated everyday comforts, resort-style outdoor spaces, and a premier High Street location near Old Town, 168 High Street offers a move-in-ready in-town lifestyle that is as effortless for daily living as it is memorable for hosting.
