RARE GEM - CHARMING 200+ year old farmhouse! Built in 1797, this Circa 3 bedroom/2 bath home is situated on a 1+ acre level lot that is private and secluded. Convenient to both Abingdon and Damascus, the 2 story home features American chestnut logs, exposed beams, wood ceilings and original HW floors. The HW floors are a combination of hand worked chestnut, poplar and milled tongue and groove oak. The updated kitchen boasts Corian counter tops, 4 burner gas range, Kraftmaid cabinetry, tile flooring and new track lighting. Mature trees shade the property including a 150+ year old tea tree along with hemlock, walnut, chestnut, pear and apple trees. Plus there are grape vines and blueberry bushes. Known as the "Buchanan-Litz House", this unique property has a limestone foundation and represents a bygone era. Nostalgic in every way, the beautiful pastoral setting of this home is truly exceptional. UPDATES include: House rewired and plumbing updated in 1986 and 2015. Metal roof and HVAC systems replaced in 2006. Both baths updated. Newer windows in most rooms. 16 x 20 shed remains with the property. Previous owners made an initial application to the VA Landmarks Register and National Register of Historic Places. While final approval was never granted, the VA State Review Board made a preliminary determination that the home "appears" to be eligible for these designations.
