This charming brick ranch sits on a generous lot in the Town of Buchanan. It is an easy walking distance to the James River and the shops in the heart of downtown. Formerly a church parsonage, this home offers 3 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms and an office with a dedicated entrance. The roof, HVAC and windows have all been updated recently and a few cosmetic upgrades would truly make this house a home! The back porch offers beautiful views of Purgatory Mountain where you can watch the colors change this fall or look forward to the best seat in town for the famous Buchanan Carnival Fireworks!
