Welcome to this delightfully unique property in the Shenandoah Valley, less than 20 minutes from Lexington. Bordering a cascading creek, this property features a custom built cabin, a second small finished building, and a pathway down to the creek where a screen house awaits you.
The cabin's screened-in porch, equipped with a ceiling fan, leads to the front door. Inside you'll find a great room with a living area featuring a gas-log fireplace (originally wood-burning) on one end and a kitchen/dining area on the other. A genuine antique country store counter with original shelving and drawers and oak-plank countertop serves as the kitchen's island. Next to the farmhouse sink along the wall, the counter is a marble top from an antique Victorian buffet. The 9-foot ceilings on the first floor feature two hand-hewn antique wood beams from an old log cabin. An oak floor is throughout. Upstairs is one bedroom; the ceiling follows the gambrel roof line and rises to a 9 foot peak. The full bathroom features an antique marble-top vanity and vessel sink, and the washer/dryer hides behind louvered doors. In addition to the stall shower in the bathroom, there's an outdoor hot shower for the adventurous!
The second building, 12'x16', is across the parking area. Previously used as an office, it is finished with insulation and electricity (including baseboard heat) but not plumbing yet.
Follow the sound of the creek down the wooden stairs and path to the 8'x8' screen house.
No agent commissions.
