This Main Street gem is the perfect blend of history, charm, and location. The property s earliest roots date back to the 1880 s and follow the arrival of the Washington and Old Dominion Railroad in 1874, which culminated in the rapid growth and expansion of the village and ultimately, in the incorporation of the town of Purcellville. It is located along the original ox cart track which later became Big Road or Great Road and today s Main Street, and was owned by several early prominent families and members of the village community including W.P. Pancoast, local entrepreneur J.N. Hampton, and the first male teacher in Loudoun County, Archibald J. Simpson. This mainstay of Purcellville s landscape is aptly named after its longest residents, Thomas and Naomi Hatcher, who resided in the home for forty years. The home is bustling with architectural character and is situated upon a half-acre private lot yet is effortlessly accessible to downtown living. Just blocks from restaurants, shops, the library, and the W&OD trail. The large inviting front porch beckons you to sit a while and is an ideal parade viewing location. It is full of original time period details depictive of the Arts and Crafts Movement including blown glass windows, built-in cabinetry, bulls eye corner trim and fluted molding over doors and windows, heart of pine wood flooring on both levels and a walk up attic with plenty of storage or renovation potential. The rear porch is a shady spot overlooking the fenced back yard. The original barn has room to park a car or use as storage for lawn and garden equipment. Purcellville has easy access to Routes 7, 9 and the bypass. Dulles Airport is about 20 minutes. Washington, DC about 30 miles.
