A Rare Piece of Berryville History! Charming does not begin to describe 6 Academy Court. Built in 1962 as the personal residence of the subdivision's builder, this extraordinary 3 BD/2.5 BA home has housed only two owners and remains remarkably preserved in its original state. Stepping inside feels like stepping… Read More back in time, with architectural details and craftsmanship rarely found in homes today. Located in the historic town of Berryville, established in 1798, the property is in this distinctive six-home subdivision and includes an additional adjoining lot with building rights. Total acreage is approximately half an acre. Each home in Academy Court was constructed using reclaimed brick from the Berryville High School on Academy Street - originally built on this site in 1890, later rebuilt twice between 1901-1924 due to fires. The home's solid, all-brick construction reflects the quality and craftsmanship of its era. Historic elements from the former school were thoughtfully incorporated throughout the subdivision, including transom windows, doors, sinks, and other unique architectural details. Offering approximately 2,100+ finished square feet, the home showcases original hardwood flooring throughout, curved plaster walls and ceilings, a pocket door, a graceful curved staircase, and an arched kitchen doorway and 3 wood burning fireplaces. Many windows in the eat-in kitchen and throughout the home provide an abundance of natural light. The main level features a primary bedroom with built-in shelving and a private full bath; a traditional living room with more built-in shelves and a fireplace; a dining room with a fireplace; an eat-in kitchen that connects via a breezeway to the garage; and, a half bath. Interior access to the basement adds convenience. Upstairs are two generously sized bedrooms with ample closet space, a full bath, and a large bonus or storage room offering numerous possibilities. The lower level adds even more character, featuring a recreation room with a fireplace, a designated area for laundry, storage, and an original bomb shelter - a fascinating reminder of the era in which the home was built. Additional features include individually controlled thermostats in each room with original oil heat registers and backup electric, a breezeway connecting the home to an oversized one-car garage with additional storage, and a distinctive concrete-shingle roof installed in 1963 designed for exceptional longevity. A sizeable storage shed also on the property for housing lawn equipment. Academy Court is an exceptionally wide street, comfortably accommodating parking along both sides when needed while still leaving ample room for vehicles to pass. It is unlike any other subdivision in Berryville. Its historic construction, preserved architectural details, and deed protections help ensure that its unique character will remain intact for generations to come. This is more than a home - it is a rare opportunity to own an irreplaceable piece of local history. Read Less
