3 Bedroom House in Harpers Ferry
Step into history without giving up modern comfort in this lovingly restored 1820s armorer’s house—one of the oldest privately owned homes in Harpers Ferry.

- You’ll likely meet Tony, the famous Harpers Ferry cat (featured inThe Washington Post), who loves lounging on the porch when he's not greeting visitor walking by (he stays outside).
Perfectly situated to enjoy everything Harpers Ferry has to offer:
🚶♀️ 8–10 minute walk downhill to Lower Town’s historic sites, shops, restaurants & river
