About This Property
Another price drop-INSTANT EQUITY!Welcome to perhaps the most
private and largest parcel(7+ view-filled acres) in all of Lake
Front Royal, with a price tag you won't believe! This unique
gem is filled with custom features cleverly crafted by the original
artist owner who is happy to explain his ingenious special touches.
The main portion of the home sprawls through the woods like a
magnificent treehouse and consists of nearly 1,200 finished square
feet with three bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms. An additional
greenhouse-like entrance, a ~man-cave/ping pong room~ in the rear
of home (19x9), a ~sleeping porch~ just off the covered master deck
(that formerly housed a hot tub) and enormous storage areas
throughout make it feel spacious and measure much larger. Two
detached buildings also add to the living area on the property~an
artist's studio with huge view-filled window (15x15) and a workshop
(20x18 complete with exhaust system to control dust)with similar
mountain/tree filled views from its huge windows. Both have
storage under the buildings, south facing windows, well-designed
built-ins and gas heat. There's also an attached (12x5) garden shed
(with electric and a hose bib area), an attached (24x4) built in
storage room (that has a recycling area, wood storage section and
dog access to an exterior fenced area) and a detached 16x8 storage
shed (half open, half enclosed). Though the septic is rated for a
two bedroom home, there are three bedrooms in the main house and
the detached buildings provide extra living space.Perfect for a
weekend getaway or full time residence, the home has an efficiently
arranged kitchen (with gas stove, dishwasher, refrigerator, double
sink and pantry under the stairs) and anopen living/dining area
(with a $5k easy to clean Jotul stove w/ screen that heats the
entire house). Located under 10 minutes from historic
Downtown Front Royal with easy access to I-66 and I-81 for
commuters, youwon't want to miss this opportunity!UNIQUE FEATURES
