Beautiful brick rancher nestled in the heart of the foothills of Surry County. Situated on a large lot partially cleared and partially wooded. Just minutes from Dobson, Mt.Airy, Elkin & Galax VA. Unfinished basement with lots of room for storage. Nice covered back deck for those lazy summer evenings. Don't let this gem get away!
