A true country delight, this captivating Queen Anne Victorian style 3BR/2.5BA home is tucked away on a private, peaceful 13+ acre setting in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. From its custom iron entrance gates to its distinctive architectural style of turreted roofs and wrap around front covered porch, this property will be sure to please. Inside the home, spacious rooms for living and entertaining, including high-ceiling parlor and library/billiards rooms. A detached "carriage house" with living quarters above could possibly be used for guests or caretakers. Tasteful, fitting landscapes surround the home. Steady flowing creek. From country escape to equestrian estate there are lots of possibilities with this one. 12 min to downtown. 20 minutes to TIEC. 1 hr to major airports. Due to deferred maintenance, substantial updating/repairs will be required, but this property remains a fabulous opportunity for the right buyer. A true must see. Book your showing today!
