This rancher is nestled on a gorgeous, wooded half acre lot in a quiet neighborhood. It’s absolutely the best of both worlds, offering a natural privacy while still close to amenities and so much more. The vertical lines of the exterior green siding coupled with sharp white trim and a metal roof preview what to expect inside. Enter into a great room, which gives height—and light—to the central communal spaces. Hardwood floors provide a warm backdrop against crisp white walls. The typical gathering area is augmented by a woodstove for added comfort. Adjacent is room for ample dining and desired furniture. The kitchen provides a wow factor with its chic design, wooden counters, extra-large sink, and rustic island. The white cabinetry and tile backsplash is handsomely offset by the stainless appliances and range hood. There are three bedrooms, including the primary suite, which claims one of two full bathrooms, plus benefits from French doors opening to the back deck. Upstairs houses a nifty loft space to use however you desire. Unlike some lofts, there’s ample room. Outside, you’ll love the expansive deck overlooking the backyard and the sizeable gazebo with long bench seating tucked into this nature’s paradise. There’s even a chicken coop ready for your flock. There’s also an attached, two-car garage to stow your vehicles and provide storage and convenience. The location of this home really is exciting. You’re near I-66, Front Royal, and just south of Winchester, but you’re also close to the Appalachian National Scenic Trail, Skyline Drive, and other lakes, trails, and more.
