In the heart of Fauquier County, right along John Mosby Highway (Route 50), Alair Homes Hunt Country is just starting on renovating a historic residence that tells the story of Virginia’s past. Like many homes in Northern Virginia, this one carries generations of memories within its walls. Its design is shaped by the traditions and craftsmanship of another era. Our task: to honor that history while making the home functional and comfortable for modern living.
Respecting Historic Character
The homeowners cherish the home’s timeless charm, from its original brickwork to its unique architectural details. Preserving these elements is at the core of the renovation. By carefully restoring windows, doors, and trim, and thoughtfully choosing materials that align with the home’s history, we’re ensuring that its authentic character remains intact.
Adding Modern Comforts
While history provides the foundation, modern life requires convenience. Inside, the renovation will introduce updated systems, energy-efficient HVAC, modern plumbing, and smart electrical solutions, so the home can support today’s lifestyles without compromising its historic integrity. The kitchen and bathrooms will be reimagined with contemporary functionality while incorporating design choices that feel period-appropriate.
Blending Old and New with an Addition
To provide more space for the family, a sensitive addition will be built onto the home. Designed to complement the original architecture, the addition will offer expanded living areas while maintaining the home’s cohesive, historic look from the outside. This thoughtful blend ensures that the property grows with the needs of its owners without losing the essence of its past.
Living History, Modernized
Renovating a historic home in Upperville, the heart of Virginia’s Hunt Country isn’t just about bricks and mortar, it’s about storytelling. Each preserved beam, brick and chosen new amenities, helps the home continue its role as a witness to Virginia’s evolving history. For these Fauquier County homeowners, the result will be a residence that honors the past, serves the present, and is ready for generations to come.
A Legacy Reimagined
