Property Description
Set on 3.06 private acres in Charles Town, 898 Declaration Drive welcomes you with mature landscaping, beautiful stone accents and a sense of privacy that immediately sets the tone. Step inside and that first impression continues in an extensively renovated home offering 5,169 finished square feet and a sophisticated modern point of view.
Walk through the front door and the scale immediately makes an impression. A two-story stone fireplace anchors the main living area beneath dramatic Palladian windows, while a redesigned staircase with black metal cable railing introduces the clean, contemporary aesthetic carried throughout. Statement lighting, upgraded flooring and carefully selected finishes have transformed the interior while preserving the generous proportions that make these rooms comfortable to actually live in.
The kitchen is where life tends to happen, with room to cook, gather, open a bottle of wine and stay awhile. Granite work surfaces, a large island, double wall ovens, wine refrigeration and concealed ventilation pair function with style. Surrounding living and dining spaces make entertaining easy, while a dedicated main-level office keeps working from home out of the dining room.
Upstairs, the primary suite shifts the mood entirely. Warm, quiet and beautifully finished, it feels removed from the activity below—a place to close the door and exhale. A custom tray ceiling adds dimension, while the substantial walk-in closet with center storage island brings a little luxury to the everyday. The bath is wrapped in floor-to-ceiling tile with dual floating vanities, a deep soaking tub and an oversized curbless shower with multiple shower heads surrounding you with water from every direction. Serene, sophisticated and just indulgent enough.
Three additional bedrooms and well-appointed baths provide comfortable space for family and guests, but this home also has room for life to change.
The 1,462-square-foot finished walkout lower level includes a full bath with another curbless shower, daylight and direct outdoor access. It's a compelling option for multigenerational living or extended-stay guests, with space for a home theater, game room, gym or second office. Enhanced soundproofing and dedicated surround-sound wiring add even more versatility.
Outside, the property is level, usable and private, framed by mature trees and established landscaping. The gated aluminum-fenced backyard offers a generous expanse of open lawn and something increasingly hard to find: room to decide what comes next. A future pool, outdoor kitchen or entertaining space, gardens, room to play—or simply three acres that don't need to become anything at all.
Living here extends beyond the property lines. Charles Town puts you in the heart of Jefferson County, where an evening out can mean dinner or a local winery and a free Saturday can lead toward Harpers Ferry, the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers, trails and some of the prettiest scenery in West Virginia.
The investment in 898 Declaration goes deeper than what photographs can show. CAT 6 cabling, 2Gig fiber-ready infrastructure, whole-house surge protection, UV water purification, dual-zone Bosch HVAC and a finished garage workshop with its own electrical sub-panel and plumbing add serious function behind all that beautiful design.
More than 5,000 finished square feet. Three private acres. Flexible multigenerational living. Sophisticated interiors. A home that has already undergone the expensive transformation.
All that's left is deciding how you want to live in it.
