Built in 1795 and just a few blocks from the heart of downtown Leesburg, 222 West Market gives you something that is genuinely hard to find: a historic home with real character, a completely rebuilt interior, private outdoor space, and a two-story garage, all in a location where you can walk out the door and enjoy downtown.

The interior was gutted and rebuilt in 1998 by Randy and Deloris DeHart, with the work later recognized with a 2000 Architectural Excellence Award. Their daughter, a landscape architect, designed the grounds, and that attention to how the house and outdoor spaces work together is still obvious today.

The BRICK COURTYARD is one of the places that makes this house memorable. It is tucked behind the home, with planting beds, an arbor, and a water feature filled with fish, lily pads, and water plants. There is even a resident frog who has apparently decided he lives here too. Sit outside with coffee, dinner, or a glass of wine and the sound of the water makes it easy to forget you are right in the middle of town.

Inside, you get the character of a historic home without giving up comfortable room sizes. The FAMILY ROOM is nearly 23 feet long with a fireplace and radiant heat underfoot. The large front STUDY has another fireplace and enough room to work from home, read, or create a separate sitting space. The KITCHEN sits between the two with rich wood cabinetry, double wall ovens, a pantry, and direct access to the courtyard, so indoor and outdoor living connect naturally.

Upstairs, the floor plan gives you TWO GENEROUS BEDROOMS instead of a collection of smaller rooms. The PRIMARY SUITE is more than 20 feet deep with its own fireplace, multiple closets, and a private bath with a skylight that brings in natural light. The second bedroom is also spacious, with another full bath nearby. LAUNDRY ON THE BEDROOM LEVEL makes everyday life easier.

A long driveway runs to the back of the property, where the oversized TWO-STORY STUCCO GARAGE sits tucked away from the street. You get real off-street garage parking in downtown Leesburg, plus unfinished space above for storage or future possibilities.

And then there is the LOCATION. King Street, downtown restaurants, shops, coffee, events, and the W&OD Trail are all close by. Dinner does not have to involve getting in the car. Neither does a morning walk, a bike ride, or an afternoon downtown.

222 West Market is considered one of the buildings that helps give the Leesburg Old & Historic District its historic character and charm. With its history, architecture, private courtyard, garage, and walkable downtown location, it offers a way of living that is very hard to recreate anywhere else. This one is very special.
