This updated 2 BR | 2BA rancher on a sprawling 3.7-acre parcel provides a peaceful rural setting just minutes from Blackstone and US-460! The home feels bright and spacious, with fresh paint and new laminate flooring. An open living and dining area leads to a large kitchen with custom maple cabinets, stainless appliances, tiled backsplash and quartz countertops. The primary suite features a walk-in closet and private bath with tub/shower combo. In addition to a second bedroom and bath, there's a bonus room that would make the perfect home office, playroom or third bedroom (no closet). The septic was pumped and inspected and said to be suitable for a three-bedroom dwelling. House is wired for backup generator. Outside, you'll find covered front porch and a large deck in the back. Detached double garage with power. The well pump house was restored and there is an old store that will be a fun project to restore. All outbuildings sold AS IS. Yard is fenced in and there is plenty of room for play area and a huge garden. New landscaping around home is low maintenance. Short drive to Lee Lake public boat ramp, FASTC, Fort Barfoot, Farmville, Amelia, and easy commute to Richmond.
