Property Description
Sitting atop a knoll overlooking the city sits Selma Mansion, Winchester's Crown Jewel. From your entry through the private gate you wind up the driveway through Selma's 4.15 acre campus, past the grass amphitheater, to this commanding home, boasting 7 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and 2 half baths. Walk up the dramatic front brick steps into the foyer which takes your breath away with its dramatic scale and ornate detail and windows ushering in natural light. Selma's gracious and dramatic rooms set the scene for a lifetime of memories with a backdrop of unsurpassed elegance reminiscent of a bygone era. A grand ballroom runs the length of the home, flanked by dual carved Italian marble fireplaces on each end, floor-to-ceiling and bay windows, and windows which open to step out to a large entertaining porch. Selma's Dining room seats up to 30 guests and walks through 12' pocket doors to a breathtaking parlor and sunroom. To the rear of the house sits a large kitchen, breakfast room and wood paneled library. Step outside to multiple porches including a two-story sleeping porch screened on the upper level. Enjoy the bustle of downtown Winchester and retreat to your private sanctuary, one mile from Winchester Medical Center and 75 miles west of Washington D.C. Selma awaits its next steward and offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own this rare historic masterpiece.
