Complete renovation in June 2023! New windows, roof, luxury vinyl plank flooring, granite countertops and modern stainless sink in the kitchen, stainless appliances, ceiling lights, ceramic tile in the bathroom, bathroom vanity, interior paint, light switches, receptacles, deck off of the kitchen, baseboards, interior doors, closet doors, door jambs, and door trim. This home has certainly been transformed into a modern space. The floor joists through roughly 70% of the house were also replaced and subflooring was added. The nonfunctioning water well was also closed off to ensure compliance with the renovation process. The house sits on 0.854 acres and provides a great deal of outdoor space for most activities you could imagine on your own lot. Firefly Fiber Internet is also run to the house! Only 40 minutes to Charlottesville, Lynchburg, and Waynesboro all while enjoying the low tax rate in Nelson County! Seller is a licensed real estate salesperson in Virginia.
