Welcome to “Friend's Cabin” — a timeless 1800s cottage nestled in the storybook village of The Plains.
Tucked away on just over an acre of beautifully landscaped, park-like grounds, this enchanting three-bedroom, two-bathroom home has been thoughtfully restored to blend historic character with modern comforts.
Step onto the brand-new screened porch and through a vintage front door into a warm, inviting living room. Here, rich hardwood floors, exposed beamed ceilings, and stone fireplace create a space that feels both grounded and elegant — perfect for quiet evenings or lively gatherings.
The adjoining dining room is flooded with natural light and echoes the home’s original charm with more antique hardwood flooring and hand-hewn beams overhead. Just beyond is a completely renovated kitchen — fresh, functional, and ready for your culinary adventures.
The main level also includes a cozy bedroom, a full bath, and convenient laundry facilities. From the dining room, the staircase with broad, gracious steps ascends to the upper level, where you will find two additional bedrooms and another full bath. The spacious primary bedroom boasts an attached bonus room — ideal as a studio, nursery, home office, or an expansive walk-in closet to suit your lifestyle.
Outdoors, the magic continues.
A newly paved driveway leads through the mature trees and lush landscaping, leading to your private retreat well set back from the road. Stone pathways invite exploration, subtle landscape lighting enhances the ambiance, and a handcrafted stone fireplace anchors the backyard — made for memorable nights under the stars.
A charming new garden cottage completes the property, offering wonderful storage for your tools, bikes and other sporting gear.
Just a short stroll brings you to the heart of The Plains, where cozy cafes, fine dining, and antique shops await. With I-66 only minutes away, and Middleburg, Marshall, and Warrenton within easy reach, “Friends Cabin” offers the rare opportunity to live in peaceful seclusion without sacrificing convenience.
