PROPERTY Writes: Historic Unison Is Home to Picturesque Glatton Folly

A front view of the historic home.

Enjoy easy living in the hunt country surrounding Middleburg at “Glatton Folly.”

Located in historic Unison, the home is known as one of the most visually prominent buildings in the village. Deceivingly large, this circa 1820 remodeled Victorian-era home offers three large bedrooms and three full baths. Exterior features include German lap siding, a standing seam metal roof with front dormers and two exterior-end brick chimneys.

What truly catches the eye is the full-height, two-story portico with a barrel vault ceiling and a balcony along with the unique corner front porch. Interior architectural details include wide board pine floors, built-in bookshelves, old hardware and four fireplaces and two wood stoves in addition to baseboard heat.

The owners have lovingly cared for this home for over 22 years, renovating the kitchen, the bathrooms, the home office and more. Upgrades include new windows, a metal roof and a discreet solar panel array on the roof.

Additions and renovations over time have blended well to honor the history of the house while being incredibly functional. Off the back of the house is a large open deck ideal for entertaining. The spacious backyard is fenced on three sides and has horseshoe pits.

Mature trees, shrubs and gardens surround the house. Other outbuildings include an open one-car garage, two storage sheds, and a pump house.

Established in 1813, the town originally was called Union and in 1829, it formally took the name Unison. Today the Unison Historic District encompasses over 70 acres. The heart of the village contains 20 or so residences centered around this well-known crossroads (now a three-way stop) which used to house a store, a school, and a post office.

This is country living at its best in the heart of horse country.
