This is a remarkable property with a great location. Very desirable all brick rancher on a full basement. Solid built in 1968, on 4+ acres with NO HOA, no covenants or restrictions. The land is quite nice, fairly square, cleared, level. Very reminiscent of the ranchers from the 60's with knotty pine cabinets, oak hardwood flooring (covered over with wall-to-wall carpeting) full basement with a wood burning fireplace (has a wood stove). Has a bright, cheery kitchen with much counterspace (peninsula/island with stool seating). The windows have been updated. An attached carport offers covered entry plus there is an oversized, detached garage for parking or workshop. A run-in shed gives covered protection for your farm equipment. This land offers you many uses. There is a large garden spot. With no restrictions you can bring your pets/animals. Unusual house siting brings you in the private driveway to the rear of the house. The front of the home overlooks the huge grassy field, a treed area, then Front Royal Pike. If you use a mailbox along Armel Road, your mail is delivered out of the White Post Post Office (giving you a White Post address.
