Sited on a sunny knoll overlooking the charming Browntown countryside and surrounding mountains, with 34 acres of beautiful woodlands, this handsome light-filled Frank Lloyd Wright inspired contemporary home will give you peace of mind like no other. Recessed from Smith Run Rd with a winding driveway, quiet and dramatic views of the outdoors await you in every room. The slate entry has an elevated greenhouse seeing through to the trees. You can spot the highest peaks of nearby Shenandoah National Park through soaring windows in the great room while sitting in front of the warming wood-burning fireplace. The dining area and 4 season sunroom overlook to the west and are a joy every sunset. Master and second bedrooms have views of the woods and a large stockable pond which delights through the seasons. The sunny downstairs has a third bedroom and walk-out office, just waiting for your patio design. The eat-in kitchen with quality oak cabinetry has new granite countertops. Newly painted inside and out in 2020 with many interior upgrades, the home's septic system was reconditioned in 2019 and buried oil tank previously inspected and removed. And for future flexibility, the acreage can potentially be subdivided with two large lots along Smith Run Rd, and a large interior lot through a pre-existing easement. All this just 20 minutes from Front Royal and its major shopping centers. A permanent residence, or a weekend gathering place with access to Shenandoah National Park trails, this much-loved home will envelope you. Be sure to check out the video tour!
