Firefly Cottage is a reproduction “hunt box” situated on the apron of historic Rectortown, Virginia, a charming and unspoiled village in the hunt country of northern Virginia, offering that rare “best of both worlds”. One can stroll to the village post office from Firefly Cottage, yet it commands exceptionally beautiful views westward over hundreds of rolling, pristine acres of farmland (most in conservation easement) to the Blue Ridge Mountains.

This village parcel is six-tenths of an acre on one of the least traveled lanes in the vicinity. Extending across the entire front of the house is a new, very large covered porch from which to enjoy the splendid views to the west.

The house has undergone a near total renovation to virtual “new
equivalent” condition. High quality yet low maintenance exterior
materials, new HVAC, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems; new energy efficient windows and doors throughout; new standing seam, pre-finished metal roof.

The interior includes a welcoming foyer opening into a living room with a fireplace surrounded by an antique pine mantel and with expansive windows through which to savor the westward views. Reclaimed heart pine flooring has been installed throughout the house except in the bathrooms.
