Don't miss the opportunity to live in the Virginia City Highlands! This is a cozy home that has a cabin like feel to it. It is situated on a corner lot that has a cul-de-sac at the end. It is close to paved roads where the school bus stops on the corner and the fire station is right down the road. Come take a look while the getting is still good up here!, There have been a lot of upgrades including, new carpet, newer Fiber Cement siding; 2015, new roof; 2017, new water softener, metal roofs on all three outbuildings (yes, three); and the furnace is less than 7 years old. There is a dog run with kennel up front and full separated fencing in front and back. This little beauty is situated nicely on a corner lot and close to paved Lousetown Road and a short distance from the park. The school bus stops at the bottom of the hill. It doesn't get much better; book you're showing today!
