Property Description
The Hugh Cowan House c.1790. A rare find! Located in the Mercersburg Historic District, this stately brick home was nicely restored by the current owners who are down sizing and retiring. The home includes 9 rooms, 2 full bath, 2 half baths and 7 working fireplaces. Built in 1790 by a Hugh Cowan, a local cabinet maker, the Cowan house is adorned with an ornate staircase, detailed woodwork and beautiful yellow pine floors. A new metal roof was installed in 2020 along with an efficient kitchen with new stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops. The house provides much storage space indoors and out with the original two level electrified carriage house and a smokehouse. Relax on an upper or lower terrace overlooking a tranquil garden with brick walkways and a mountain view. A rare opportunity to own a historic home in this hometown of our 15th president and two first ladies. A must see!
