From the Zillow listing:

 

Built in the late 1700s, Sleepy Hollow embodies the rich historic character of Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley. Just steps from the historic village of Brownsburg, this beautifully restored residence sits on 1.36 acres and showcases many original architectural details, including seven fireplaces, stunning wood floors and moldings, and exposed wood timbers. The expansive lower-level dining room and kitchen, featuring exposed stone walls and a massive stone fireplace, provide an inviting space for gatherings, while the main level boasts formal living areas and a spacious master suite. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms and a full bath offer generous accommodation. The property also includes several historic outbuildings, such as an expansive 18th-century granary and a two-story brick secondary dwelling awaiting restoration. Set in a serene pastoral landscape amid the rolling pastures and woodlands of northern Rockbridge County, Sleepy Hollow presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Virginia’s past. Established in 1793 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Brownsburg remains largely unchanged since the late 19th century, offering a remarkably well-preserved glimpse into a typical early Valley village.
