This house sure was fun to look at and daydream about! Stunning interior and exterior! “Mount Pleasant” was built in 1886. It is located on 46 acres in Hague, Virginia. The home was built by Mr. Crabbe who was a dry goods merchant from Baltimore. The property even had its own acetylene gas manufacturing plant to operate all of the gas light fixtures. In 1966 the house was sold to Clarence Holding. At that point it suffered 30 years of neglect until being purchased by the current owners. They meticulously restored the home! Seven bedrooms, eight bathrooms, and 8,545 square feet. $1,999,000
