This charming 2-bedroom house from the 1930's was nicknamed "the Gingerbread House" by our former tenants. It has arched doorways, beautifully varnished hardwood floors, a living room, formal dining room, sunny kitchen with a breakfast corner, newly renovated 1.5 bathroom with a bathtub, a walk-in pantry and bi-level basement for additional storage, a washer and dryer, and a private parking space that accommodates two large vehicles. It is well-maintained by our caring, prompt house manager. Our most recent renovations include a new roof and dishwasher. We have also installed a new gas water heater and windows, which feature UV-filtering Low-E glass, insulating argon gas, and a warm-edge spacer system to maximize energy efficiency and lower utility bills year-round. The house is available for a walk through without contact, virtual tours, and for move-in later this month. The house feels like a lovely spot for a weekend getaway, with a view of Mill Mountain, the Roanoke River, and the greenway from its upstairs windows; a screened-in porch for cooling off on summer evenings; and a large backyard for picnics under the stars and the fireworks, launched every Fourth of July from the nearby River's Edge Sports Complex. The backyard leads directly to the greenway and blueway, with trails and parks for hiking and viewing wildlife, biking, fishing, wading, tubing, canoeing, and kayaking in the beautiful Roanoke Valley. Former residents have often been affiliated with Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital, VT Carilion School of Medicine and the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute, or the Jefferson College of Health Sciences.
