This house embodies the charm and character of a historic, Staunton home. It is one of the first homes built in the College Circle community over 80 years ago. Features of this "days gone by" era include nine foot ceilings, eight inch baseboards, heating grates, brass door knobs, intricate doorway frames, and a "telephone alcove," as well as a kitchen "nook" dining area. A mountain view is visible from the back-facing windows and the deck which overlooks the backyard. (Fun fact: The owners have found newspapers , in the home, dating back to the late 1930's, announcing the threat of war with Germany during Franklin Roosevelt's administration and, also, highlighting Staunton businesses! These will be given to the new owner). The first floor includes a foyer, generous living room, vaulted sunroom, kitchen and "dining nook," full size bathroom and dining room. (The dining room has a closet which enables this room to easily transition into a fourth bedroom). The sunroom's french doors open out to the spacious deck that has two staircases.....one to the driveway and, the other, to the backyard. The second floor features three bedrooms (one, large master and two bedrooms that can accommodate double or queen beds), a hallway bathroom, and a master bathroom. The master bathroom includes a spacious, second floor laundry area which allows for convenience! In the basement, there is a finished hallway and multi-purpose room that leads to the underdeck patio and the fenced, back yard. The unfinished, basement area offers plenty of storage and has space for a wood-working shop. The flooring of this property includes originial hardwood oak and tiled floors in neutral shades. Tile floors are featured in the bathrooms, laundry area, and sunroom. This property has an abundance of hardwood and evergreen trees. In addition, the landscaping boasts a vast array of perennial flowering plants such as purple coneflower, hydrandea, peony, carnation, lilac, daffodil, iris, hosta, black-eyed susan, daylily, blue salvia, bee balm, perennial geranium, clematis and four crepe mytle trees. The outdoor living space includes a secluded, fire pit area which is shielded by tall, ornamental grasses for privacy. The enclosed, backyard fencing is bordered by towering evergreen trees and maples that provide vibrant color in the autumn months. Our home has been, extensively, renovated over the past 10 years... including replacing the 1930’s bathroom fixtures, creating a third bathroom, enclosing a side porch, adding closets, and finishing the walls, staircase and hallway to create a basement, multi-purpose room. In addition, we replaced all of the home’s linoleum with tiled flooring and added the deck and under-deck patio. This home is in the north end district of Staunton and students in this neighborhood attend McSwain Elementary School, Shelburne Middle School and Staunton High School. Minutes drive to Route 11, and to the I-81 and I-64 corridors.
