You can have the best of old and new: live in this light-filled, move-in-ready house with a fantastic layout on a quiet, non-through street less than a mile from beautiful, historic downtown Warrenton. 332 Preston Drive has a large eat-in kitchen open to the spacious family room and dining room, with 10-foot ceilings, large windows, and gleaming oak floors that make this space light and bright. The clever design has a breakfast counter that seats 3 and also hides kitchen clutter. The gas range, stainless steel dishwasher, and extra-large kitchen sink are brand new. The maple kitchen cabinets have 42-inch uppers, and the pantry closet offers more storage.




With the primary bedroom suite and laundry room on the first floor, you can have one-level living — but there is also a bedroom, bathroom and large bonus playroom or office on the second floor. The first floor has two more bedrooms, plus a hall bathroom. The huge unfinished basement offers lots of storage, walk-up stairs to the back yard, and rough-in plumbing for a full bathroom. The family that lived here — with three children — found the home so spacious that they didn’t need to finish the basement.

The covered front porch has ample space for a few comfortable chairs. The entire house was just painted, and all the carpet replaced. The house has a security system and 200-amp electrical panel. The kitchen/dining area opens to a Trex deck and a screened gazebo. The house backs up to well-maintained open green space belonging to a school; when school is not in session, you are free to use the playground, basketball courts and soccer field.

Warrenton’s thriving historic district with its many stores, restaurants, cafes and weekly farmer’s market is within walking distance. The Aquatic and Recreation Facility, with two indoor pools, a playground, playing fields, walking paths and a skatepark is minutes away by car, as is a hospital with a 24-hour emergency room. Warrenton is nestled in the heart of Virginia’s wine and horse country, with easy access to Skyline Drive and Shenandoah National Park.
