Set atop a gentle rise, tucked away in a park-like setting in desirable north-end Staunton, 1431 Dogwood Road is more than a home—it’s a legacy. Designed in 1955 by Marcellus Wright & Son (architects of the famed Altria Theater in RVA) this home is rich in architectural and design heritage. Featuring 3-bedrooms (expansive primary suite on the 1st floor) & 4 baths this home is a masterclass in elegance and personality. From the Charles Protil-designed kitchen to the richly appointed library, every inch reflects thoughtful craftsmanship, and bespoke design. Soaring windows, soft color palettes, and custom millwork make every room feel like a chapter from a grander time. Outside, a Charles Gillette-inspired boxwood garden completes the story. Now offered with a brand-new roof and priced below assessed value, this is a rare opportunity to own a truly one-of-a-kind home at an exceptional value that is close to schools & downtown.
