"Willow Green" Circa 1791 is an historic estate on nearly 7 acres just south of Purcellville, Virginia. The handsome 4 bedroom stone house has been continuously lived in for 229 years. Only four families have ever owned the property. The home has been lovingly preserved and maintained through several additions with dates inscribed in stone in the attic. The main house dates to 1791 and was built by Timothy Taylor, a Quaker from Pennsylvania. With additions in 1840 and more renovations in 1944. The frame addition at the side entrance was added in the 1970's. This includes the main floor bedroom suite and second story above. The stone office with bedroom above predate the main structure and are believed to have been built as an outpost by Hessian soldiers employed by Daniel Morgan, legendary general of the American Revolution. At one time the kitchen was located in the stone portion which is now the home office. The current owners moved the kitchen and created another addition with an airy and functional galley and plenty of light. The stone floor and cherry cabinets offset the stainless appliances which include a commercial Thermador 6 burner range with pot filler and a coffee station. The counters are leather finish Brazillian soapstone. Just off the kitchen is a cozy breakfast room.
