Long summer evenings, wide open skies, and room to roam, this versatile farmhouse on just over 3 acres in the desirable ROWVA school district is where country living begins. Whether you're dreaming of a hobby farm, raising 4-H animals, or simply enjoying the privacy of a rural setting, this property offers the flexibility to make it your own. The outbuildings are already in place, including a machine shed, former hog shed with wood-burning workshop, three grain bins, and a classic barn, providing ample space for livestock, storage, hobbies, or future projects. Inside, you'll find 3 spacious bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a thoughtfully refreshed main level featuring fresh paint and new carpet in multiple rooms. The bright family room at the front of the home is filled with natural light and offers views of the surrounding property while the formal dining room flows seamlessly into the living room for comfortable everyday living and easy entertaining. The eat-in kitchen offers generous cabinetry and workspace, and the oversized main floor bathroom has been updated and conveniently includes the washer and dryer. Original character shines through with tall ceilings, crown molding, stately woodwork, and large windows throughout the home. From morning coffee overlooking the beautiful acreage to relaxing evenings spent on the covered deck, you'll find plenty of reasons to slow down & enjoy the country lifestyle.
