It is a 10 minutes walk to downtown historic sites, shops, restaurants, National Park, the merging of Shenandoah river and Potomac river, and the Appalachian Trail. Built in 1907, the house has the highest point in the city of Harpers Ferry. It took 8 years to design, renovate and furnish the house and the garden.

The GARDEN:
The property includes an expansive well designed and maintained garden featuring terraces of multi-tier lawns, a Koi pond, several courtyards with seating and custom stone work. Large boulders and rocks were brought in to incorporate into the design of the garden. Tall and dense Japanese evergreens with soft needles (Cryptomerias) create privacy all year round. There are several varieties of deciduous and evergreen magnolia trees. Note that there are Seven Magnolia trees at the front of the property. Rows of white flowering dogwood trees line up along the driveway to lead you to the house. Two huge Dawn Redwood trees with branches expanding over 20 feet provide shade. The wisterias drape over the fences. There are apple and fig tree espaliers and no shortage of rose bushes - over 100 including climbing roses. Tall columnar hornbeam trees create partitions in the garden adding to the floating wooden trellises. Daylilies, irises, rows of butterfly bushes and varieties of climbing clematis and honeysuckle fill in the gaps and bloom consecutively. Bountiful St. John wart forming clumps of green fans are in place as ground covers. Blue Stars grow in between rocks and natural stone pavers. Various thymes serve as another ground cover and also hang over rocks. Lavender bushes send out aroma in early summer. Several Brugmansia Angel Trumpet yield trumpet flowers with aroma to take over and fill the air of the late summer night.
