Serving in the military, we've lived in 15 homes around the world, and this one has been our favorite because of its privacy, storage, convenience, and peaceful surroundings. The newer four-season sunroom has floor-to-ceiling windows that bring in natural light and views of the yard year-round. Its where we enjoy morning coffee, watch deer, birds, rabbits, and squirrels, and spend time reading or visiting. The living room features wood plantation shutters and a gas fireplace.

A full bathroom and large laundry/storage room make this level also great for a home office, hobbies, entertaining, or additional living space. Storage has been one of the biggest advantages of this home. The large utility room provides space for holiday decorations, keepsakes, household supplies, and more. The garage includes a large workbench for tools and projects. The large deck has updated decorative metal-rod railing and overlooks the surrounding greenery. We enjoy it throughout the seasons, using an outdoor heater and propane fire pit on cooler evenings. It's been a favorite place for gathering to sip hot drinks and roast marshmallows. We're selling because we're preparing to move back to our hometown where we plan to continue supporting our troops. This home will be difficult to leave, and we hope its next owners enjoy it as much as we have. A pre-approval letter for the full asking price is requested in advance.
South Roanoke, located between Mill Mountain Park and Downtown Roanoke, is a residential and historic Roanoke neighborhood with tree-lined streets and mountain views. Tudor Revivals, brick Colonials, and classic bungalows set a polished, lived-in streetscape along winding blocks near the river. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Roanoke River Greenway at Wasena Park, where cyclists, runners, and picnic blankets share the path beside the water. Community pillars include the Roanoke Star overlook on Mill Mountain, the Taubman Museum of Art downtown, and the Grandin Theatre in nearby Grandin Village. Sidewalks and pocket parks shape a walk-and-roll routine, while the Blue Ridge foothills frame daily errands with a sense of elevation.
