This historic manor home is located on a very private 10+ acres yet is extremely convenient to Interstates 95 & 66 and just minutes to the VRE train, offering fast commuter service to Washington DC. It is also just a few miles south of the Innovation Office Park, which includes an expanding number of businesses, executive offices, and a soon to be opened 1,100 seat Community Performing Arts Center.

Moor Green was built by Howson Hooe just after the War of 1812 and is one of only a handful of privately owned properties in Prince William County on the National Historic Register. The history of the house is extensively documented, to include recent reports by officials from the Smithsonian and Colonial Williamsburg.

 

 

The property rests on one of the highest elevations in the county and is surrounded by acres of secluded, manicured grounds. The home was extensively restored in 1984-85 and then thoroughly renovated (to include expansion) from 2004-2006. While the home is fully up-to-date with dual zone heating and cooling systems, modern well and septic, and a striking new country kitchen, it retains all of its original charm with high ceilings, heart pine floors, and period moldings.  Simply, Moor Green now represents the finest combination of old and new, with no compromises.

 

Main Level:
The main level is a beautiful blend of old meeting new. Most of the original part of the house has the original heart pine flooring and is well appointed with chair and crown molding.  Both the living room (17X17) and dining room (15X17) are comforted by wood burning fireplaces and well articulated mantels. The living room is further complimented by built in bookcases surrounding the fireplace.  There is a gentle transition to the addition featuring a family room (13X19) with heart pine floors, french doors and a full bath. Off the family room is the Tavern Room (14X15) with a fireplace, wet bar, and exposed beams.  The new addition is complete with a fabulous gourmet kitchen featuring granite counters, state of the art appliances, Crown Point cabinets and heart pine flooring. A very private screened porch (21X8) is just off the kitchen for outdoor dining.
