Maison Latouraudois is a historical gem located in scenic Flint Hill, Virginia. The original structure was built in the early 1820s and probably housed a well-to-do farmer with its generously sized rooms. Walking from room to room, you can almost imagine the sanctuary this home provided during the 1820s.
The library sits off of the main entrance and features a massive fireplace flanked by two built-in bookshelves. Three windows let natural light in, making this room perfect for curling up with a good book day or night. Across from the library is the parlor, which is a perfect spot for entertaining. Though the room is fairly large, the fireplace warms the room and adds intimacy to any gathering. The dining room is accessible from either the parlor or the café. Featuring another fireplace, this room is quite elegant with its tall ceilings and understated chandelier. Gatherings can flow out onto the covered porch accessible from the dining room. A hidden staircase leads upstairs, leading to the master bedroom.
The upstairs features three bedrooms. The small bedroom above the library would be perfect for a child’s room or a home office. The two adjoining bedrooms above the parlor and dining room would make an impressive master suite and sitting area or would make two generous bedrooms in their own right. The front bedroom features a fourth fireplace. A full bath is shared by the three upstairs bedrooms. An addition, circa 1960, added a small café area, a second full bath, and a European Kitchen.
The home sits on a magnificent 0.6 acre lot with outstanding views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The large backyard would be perfect for a large garden or would make an ideal kid’s soccer field.
Located in downtown Flint Hill, Maison Latouraudois is convenient to Warrenton, Front Royal and Interstate 66 via breathtaking Crest Hill Road. Closer to home, Flint Hill offers dining options and lively country nightlife at both the Griffin Tavern and the Blue Door Kitchen and Inn. Nearby, the Shenandoah National Park offers an amazing array of hikes and trails featuring flora and fauna, waterfalls and canyons. This home is only 15 country miles from Castleton in Performance, which brings world-class events each month.
