A Rare Gem, this example of a traditional 1855 Virginia farmhouse that is situated on two lots totaling approximately 12.33 acres of fenced pasture and hardwoods, has become increasingly hard to find. The gently rolling pastures rise from the main road grade to the home site. The new owners will enjoy viewing the nicely kept garden areas and watching their livestock from the windows of the elevated home site. Some notable exterior features include the standing seam metal roof, proportional eave and gable end trim work, wood clap board siding and 3 stone chimneys. The back deck is the place for morning coffee or an evening soak in the hot tub. This classic countryside estate property includes a 27x24 metal “Morton” building, three board fencing, a 4-stall barn and approximately 600 feet of road frontage on State Route 631. Inside the approximately 2430 square foot two-story home you will find friends and family are eager to gather by the fire in the updated country style kitchen. Just off of the kitchen, the large laundry room prides additional space for a home office or hobby room. The owner’s suite with private back stair access, separate setting area and full bath with claw foot tub adds to the charm of this home. The wide plank hardwood flooring and fireplaces in the formal dinning room and parlor provide a timeless elegance that makes everyday entertaining a special event.
