Timeless Charm Meets Valley Views -Meticulously maintained and set along a quiet residential street, this gracious home is framed by century-old boxwoods and mature landscaping, with a star-patterned brick border lining the driveway. Inside, a slate-floored foyer with double coat closets welcomes you, and a unique, graceful circular staircase sweeps you upstairs. The main level, finished in a combination of LVP and Pergo flooring, offers a large living room and a second flexible room that has been used as a dining room. A convenient half bath is also on this level. The family room has a cozy gas fireplace, a ceiling fan, and sliding glass doors that open to a large deck, which overlooks a big backyard with stunning views of the valley. The two-car attached garage opens directly into the family room, making coming and going easy in any weather. Upstairs are three good-sized bedrooms plus a spacious primary suite, all with beautiful hardwood floors. Richly finished wood doors and closets add warmth to every room. The primary suite has a dressing area, two closets, and an attached full bath. A smaller bonus room with double windows and wonderful natural light could be an office, study, or playroom. A chute in the upstairs hall bathroom sends items to be washed straight down to the basement laundry area. The walk-out lower level is partially finished, with the same easy-care flooring. The entrance to the large recreation room features brass postal gate doors. The room has a wood-burning fireplace and two full-size closets, and it opens to a cement patio area under the deck. There is also a bedroom or office and a full bath. The basement foyer has a handy closet and pantry shelving, and the laundry area and plenty of storage in the unfinished space add to the convenience. A thoughtfully drained driveway completes the picture. to be completed prior to listing. - Internal notes and Claude prompt
Mecca Gardens, located between I-581 and the Roanoke River Greenway, is a residential and river-adjacent Roanoke neighborhood with mid-century ranch homes and leafy, low-traffic streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Greenway trailheads near Wasena Park, where cyclists, runners, and dog-walkers stream past picnic lawns and river overlooks. Housing reads as practical and well-kept, with brick facades, deep setbacks, and mature trees shaping a calm streetscape. Daily rhythms orbit outdoor time—walks to the river, playground loops, and weekend park gatherings. For a local-night-out anchor, the Grandin Village corridor adds Roanoke Co+op, the Grandin Theatre, and RND Coffee Lounge as community pillars. Geography stays central: water, trails, and quick hops to the city grid without losing the tucked-away feel.
