Just 20 minutes from Liberty University and a stone throw from Sweet Briar, this beautiful brick ranch in Amherst sits on a lovely large lot with mountain views. Appreciate the updates galore including roof and windows replaced in 2018, New HVAC with Air Scrubber, generator, solar panels, updated master bath. A partially finished basement with a room used as a 4th bedroom and a separate office and full bath allow for even more room to grow and expand. Outside, the peaceful setting also boast a playset, rain barrels, huge detached garage/workshop with attached indoor/outdoor dog kennels. The overhangs on each side would make great chicken coops or greenhouses with a little ingenuity and a huge space for a garden is just calling your homestead just outside of the city dreams!
This well maintain brick home on 1.35 acres is in a great location just out of the Town of Amherst near Sweet Briar College and Popular Grove Golf Course. The main floor offers formal living and dining rooms along with a family room that opens into to the kitchen area with a fireplace that has gas logs, a large sun room with great views overlooking the grounds, 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. There are lovely hardwood floors, kitchen appliances to convey, replacement windows, new roof and hot water heat this year. The terrace level has a finished den area, wood burning fireplace with an additional 1484 sq. ft. for future expansion. Enjoy the outdoors from the rocking chair front porch to the private patio for grilling and entertaining. The grounds are mostly level with flower beds, mature hardwoods that offer great shade, seasonal views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and plenty of space for a garden area.
