Your Mountain Escape Awaits! Whether you’re searching for a weekend retreat or a full-time residence, this custom-built Craftsman is ready to impress. Featuring 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a warm open-concept design, the home sits high on a scenic setting with seasonal views of the valley. All this, just minutes from I-66 in Linden, the Shenandoah River, and Shenandoah National Park. Step inside to discover rustic charm paired with modern comforts—gleaming hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, and a striking stone fireplace anchor the great room. The kitchen is a chef’s dream with quartz countertops, farmhouse sink, stainless appliances, tile backsplash, a spacious island with bar seating, and a cozy dining nook highlighted by a wood beam ceiling. From the great room and the main-level primary suite, full-glass French doors open to a wraparound covered porch, the perfect place to soak in the mountain views. The primary suite offers a wood-beamed ceiling, walk-in closet, and private tiled bath. Upstairs, a loft overlooks the great room and leads to two additional bedrooms with a shared bath. One bedroom even has its own private deck for peaceful retreats. The partially finished basement expands your living space with a new LVP floor, a woodstove in the family room, a laundry area, storage/utility room, and a rough-in for a future bath. Outside, enjoy a fenced backyard with raised garden beds and fruit trees. Comcast internet is available—ideal for working from home. Located in the Shenandoah Farms community, you’ll have access to a lake, picnic areas, walking trails, and a boat launch on the Shenandoah River. Move right in and start living the mountain lifestyle you’ve always dreamed of!
