2 Forest View Dr, Front Royal, VA 22630

A magnificent home on 5.57 acres, with direct walk-in access to the George Washington National Forest. In a private setting at the end of a cul-de-sac, this home boasts multiple outdoor features to take in its wonderful surroundings, with a full width front porch, a large fully covered 24 x 12 south facing main back deck, an additional 14 x 10 lower back deck, and a patio area out in the back yard, with stone fire pit. Inside, you’ll find an impressive spacious great room with vaulted ceiling, recessed lighting, and beautiful hickory wood floors. There is also a full height stone fireplace and hearth, with gas log fire and a wooden mantle hewn from a hickory tree felled when the lot was cleared for building. The kitchen boasts a full suite of stainless steel appliances, and extensive hickory cabinetry. The main floor is completed by the primary bedroom with its own bathroom, plus two further bedrooms and the hallway bathroom. If all that is not enough for you, then check out the lower level, with a superb family room and walkout to a small patio area at the side of the home, bonus space behind the family room, a fourth bedroom, full bath, and an extra room suitable for a den, man cave, or study! The unfinished utility room contains washer & dryer, laundry sink, water softener, chest freezer, and plenty of storage space with some shelving remaining. This home has been extremely well maintained by the owner, and only feels like a 4 or 5 year old home. But the true beauty of this property is the expansive yard. Approx 1/3 of the lot is cleared around the house, and the rest of the property consists of gorgeous undulating mixed deciduous & evergreen woodland, including two seasonal creeks that cross the property, and leading back directly into the National Forest with the Buzzard Rock Trail passing by. The agricultural zoning and modest covenant restrictions allow for shooting, ATV’s etc, and of course the National Forest is a haven for hunters as well as outward bound enthusiasts. The side-entry garage and wide parking area provide a lot of space for vehicles if needed. There is also a good ride-in shed for mower and garden storage. The heat pump was replaced in December 2023 and comes with a 10 year parts & labor warranty. Chest freezer, metal shelving, fire pit, and the griddle and grille on the deck, all convey with the property. Also available (price negotiable) are a Husqvarna 2017 garden tractor, a Husqvarna push mower, and a Stihl 16” gas chain saw. Seller will need an approx 2 month rent-back agreement with the sale.
