Every so often a house comes along that simply could not be built the same way today. 18740 Canby Road is one of them. Designed and custom built in 1992 by noted Loudoun architect Kevin Ruedisueli, and cared for ever since by its original owners, this four-bedroom post-and-beam home pairs genuine country character with understated sophistication, all on 4.61 private acres just off Harmony Church Road and about ten minutes from historic downtown Leesburg.

A home built around timber and light

The heart of the house is the vaulted great room, where exposed timber framing rises to the ceiling and a tall brick fireplace anchors the space. It is the kind of room that feels equally right for a quiet winter evening or a houseful of family at the holidays.

From there the main level flows naturally into the island kitchen, a breakfast nook and an adjoining sitting room, all under the same handsome timber ceilings. Doors open to the rear deck, so mornings with coffee and summer evenings outdoors are only a step away.

Room to live, work and unwind

Upstairs, the primary suite is joined by two further bedrooms and a hobby room — ideal for crafts, reading or a quiet home office. A library ladder leads to a loft overlooking the great room, one of those delightful details that gives the house its personality.

The walk-out lower level adds real flexibility: a fourth bedroom, a recreation room with its own kitchenette, and an office nook. It is a natural fit for guests, older children, or anyone working from home who wants a space apart.

Thoughtfully maintained and ready to enjoy

The home has been looked after with care, and recent work means a new owner can settle in with confidence:

Freshly painted, with refinished hardwood floors
New multi-zone HVAC (2026)
Standing-seam metal roof
Two-car side-load garage
Generator hookup with transfer switch
Verizon Fios fiber internet
Paved road and paved drive with turnaround
No HOA
