Perfect home for a collector, hobbyist or retiree. Large lot allows for gardening and room to breathe. Good location, 10 minute drive to Westlake and 10 minutes to Vinton/Roanoke. Enjoy the view from the deck or patio, dock is moderate slope to the lake just off the main channel. There is deep water under the dock so that even in times of drought the boat can be used.
