About this home

Privately sited on 6.11 acres just outside Winchester, 261 Merrifield Lane pairs classic Georgian architecture with extensive recent improvements throughout its approximately 6,343 sq. ft. of living space. A tree-lined approach and circular drive introduce this all-brick estate, where hardwood floors, substantial millwork, multiple fireplaces, a paneled library with built-ins and bar, formal living and dining rooms, sunroom and expansive gathering spaces create a home of remarkable character. Recent updates include new windows, refinished hardwood flooring, extensive interior painting and wall restoration, updated lighting and high-end plumbing fixtures, refreshed guest baths, landscape and drainage improvements, patio work and a completely renovated primary bath with new flooring, tile, tub, shower, cabinetry, counters, lighting and fixtures. The kitchen offers custom cabinetry, center island and paneled appliances, while the finished lower level provides additional recreation and entertaining space. A private apartment above the three-car garage includes its own entrance, living area, kitchenette, bedroom, full bath and laundry-ideal for flexible guest or extended-stay accommodations. Mature grounds provide exceptional privacy while remaining minutes from Winchester's historic district, Winchester Medical Center, the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley and major commuter routes
