A 2500 square foot ranch-style cedar-sided home with 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths, a great room with a gas log, stone fireplace, a main floor laundry room and a main floor mudroom and a very functional kitchen. The home has hardwood and ceramic tile throughout. The walk out lower level, approximately 900 square feet, also has ceramic tile throughout, a full bath, a wood burning stove and a large covered patio accessed by two large sliding doors. The lower level has been renovated into a separate apartment with an additional bedroom, and a large “living” room. An over-sized two car garage is also under the main level with two separate doors entering the lower level living space.
The house was built in 1992 and is uniquely situated on 13.93 acres bordered by large farms on two sides and two properties that are visible only at the entrance. A lovely stream that never runs dry is enclosed within the lower boundary and there is also a small pond visited frequently by a Blue Heron who thinks it is his personal fishing hole. The 13.93 acres is comprised of two separate lots; 9.38 acres with the house and barn comprise one lot and an additional 4.55 acres is another lot, which could be sold separately, if desired.
The property is approximately 20 miles from both Roanoke and Bedford and 2 miles from Smith Mountain Lake and enjoys Bedford County’s low tax assessments.
All appliances convey which includes 2008 Maytag Epic high efficiency washer and dryer, 2009 GE stove and side by side refrigerator, a 2011 Kitchen Aid dish washer and 2009 Corian counter tops with a custom ceramic back splash.
The master suite is spacious (14×19), boasting two skylights, floor to ceiling built-in bookcases with a lovely bath updated in 2012 as well as a large, cedar lined walk-in closet.
Just outside of the great room is a gracious deck which is half under roof and half open to the sky with lovely views of your woods and far into the distance, the Blue Ridge Mountains.
The property is roughly half in woods and half cleared and fenced for pasture. If you’ve a mind to do so…the upper pasture, almost 5 acres, could easily be planted as a vineyard and the barn could then be put to this alternate use. The land lies well for grapes or an orchard. Currently there is an aging Peach tree, several apple trees, 1 fig tree, a garden space which has been well manured and a variety of hardwoods on the property; Redbuds, Dogwoods, wild Cherry, Walnut, Beech, Maple, Sycamore, Poplar, River Birch and several varieties of Oak, just to name a few.
