Leesburg 'WOW' House: History 101

LEESBURG, VA — It's hard where to start with this home, given its historical significance. Aside from that, though, there's also the not-so-small feature that it has 12 — count 'em — 12 bedrooms. Did we mentioned the five full baths with a half bath thrown in for good measure?

Now, let's expanded a bit on the aforementioned historical significance. This home is a Civil War era Italianate dwelling that happens to be on the National Register of Historic Places. Supposedly, Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee planned the Battle of Antietam inside the place.
