Discover Village Life in Historic Waterford: Charming 1805 Colonial on Main Street

There's something magical about stepping into a home that has witnessed over two centuries of American life. Today, I'm delighted to spotlight an exceptional opportunity brought to market by my talented colleagues Christy Hertel and Janeen Marconi—a beautifully preserved 1805 Colonial at 40135 Main Street in historic Waterford, Virginia.

A Slice of Virginia History

Built in 1805, this charming Colonial home sits in the heart of Waterford, one of Virginia's most picturesque and well-preserved historic villages. Located in Loudoun County, Waterford is renowned for its cobblestone streets, original 18th and 19th-century architecture, and its designation as a National Historic Landmark.

The Waterford Fair is celebrated every year in October.

This isn't just a home purchase—it's an invitation to become part of a living piece of American heritage, where neighbors still wave from their porches and community festivals celebrate traditions that date back generations.

Authentic Colonial Character

The 1,720-square-foot home showcases the enduring appeal of Colonial architecture with its stone exterior and traditional proportions. The stone foundation speaks to the quality craftsmanship of early 19th-century builders who constructed homes to last centuries, not decades.

Inside, you'll find three well-appointed bedrooms and one and a half bathrooms, perfectly sized for comfortable modern living while maintaining the intimate scale that makes historic homes so appealing. The home features a welcoming fireplace—the heart of any Colonial home—where countless families have gathered for warmth and conversation over the past 220 years.

Village Living at Its Finest

What sets this property apart is its prime Main Street location within Waterford's historic district. Your 8,712-square-foot lot provides privacy and space for gardens, entertaining, or simply enjoying the peaceful village atmosphere that makes Waterford so special.

The home's shake and shingle roof adds to its authentic period appeal, while the stone masonry construction ensures both beauty and durability. At $391 per square foot, this represents exceptional value for owning a piece of authenticated Virginia history in one of the region's most desirable historic communities.

The Waterford Lifestyle

Living in Waterford means becoming part of a community that values preservation, tradition, and quality of life. The village is famous for its annual Waterford Fair, craft demonstrations, and the kind of neighborly atmosphere that's increasingly rare in today's world.

Yet you're not sacrificing modern convenience for historic charm. Waterford's location in Loudoun County provides easy access to both the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area and the natural beauty of Virginia's wine country and outdoor recreation areas.

A Rare Opportunity

Homes in Waterford's historic district rarely come to market, making this Main Street Colonial a truly special find. The combination of authentic period architecture, village location, and reasonable HOA fees ($42 monthly) creates an opportunity that appeals to history enthusiasts, those seeking a quieter pace of life, or investors who understand the enduring value of well-preserved historic properties.

Christy Hertel and Janeen Marconi have done exceptional work bringing this property to market, and I encourage anyone drawn to historic living to schedule a showing. Properties like this—combining authentic Colonial architecture with the charm of village life—represent some of the most distinctive opportunities in our region.
