Seller is taking “backups. !” Ask your agent for a showing today! You can see for miles from the deck of this spacious colonial-style home, featuring a first-floor master suite and 4 bedrooms and 2 1/2 bathrooms in total, all nestled on 5 acres of gorgeous West Virginia land just a mile or two from Capon Springs Resort and George Washington National Forest. As you approach, you are greeted by a split rail fence and stately stone pillars that flank the driveway entrance. There's plenty of parking for guests, and a slate walkway that leads to the front porch, perfect for a couple of rocking chairs. Just inside you'll find a large, bright foyer with hardwood floors and a large guest closet. On your left is a large powder room featuring a 4 ft single bowl vanity with an updated shaker-style base cabinet and porcelain tile floors. Beyond this is the spacious (15 x 20) living room with hardwood floors and chair rail. This room features a ceiling fan w/ light fixture and cozy airtight woodstove with a native stone wall behind and a raised, slate hearth beneath. Two patio doors lead to the huge (10 x 34) rear deck. Close by you'll find the gourmet kitchen, outfitted with hardwood floors, raised panel cherry cabinetry, granite counters, updated stainless appliances and newly refinished hardwood floors - all showcased under recessed and track lighting. The kitchen is open to the large (14 x 15) dining room with hardwood floors and a bronze Tiffany-style fixture. Patio doors open to the screened porch. Pine stairs lead you upstairs to the second-floor hallway with refinished hardwoods and three generously sized bedrooms, each with ceiling fans, ample closet space and a large window to take in the view. The hall bath features a 5 ft vanity, a 5 ft tub/shower and porcelain tile floors. Finally, you have a nice study/office with bamboo floors. Outside you have the lovely screened in porch off of the dining room. Enjoy morning coffee or an outdoor meal without the "no-see-ums"! A screened door leads to the large deck. This is the perfect space for hosting your BBQ or enjoying the sunshine. A set of double stairs lead to the lush, cleared yard and the million-dollar view beyond. The property includes a large 10 x 18 Amish-built gardening shed, perfect storage for your yard tools and maybe an ATV or two. And there's another shed to store your firewood - or make it a chicken coop for fresh eggs, if desired. This home has so much to offer, and just a short (40 min) drive to Winchester, VA.
