ABOUT HOME - FSBO Listing View #9769
Welcome! Enjoy a stroll through our beautiful home and gardens.
Located in Staunton, Virginia's new mecca for the visual and performing arts, this immacualte screenwriter's retreat blends 19th C. craftsmanship with modern amenities, so you can experience and enjoy the charm of yesteryear with today's conveniences.
Once Virginia's capitol, Staunton is now home to Shenendoah Shakespeare and the Blackfriar's Theatre, among many other theatre groups, and boasts numerous cultural and recreational attractions.
Crafted in the style known as Folk Victorian, this unique property, located in the historic "Newtown" neighborhood, boasts a writer's cottage and a carriage house in the rear yard, nestled amidst flower gardens and sitting areas, as well as a carriage house garage accessed by private stairway to the property.
Inside, the formal parlor, living room and dining room, which you enter through 9' original French doors, have hardwood floors, all restored to their original beauty, and 91/2 foot ceilings. Built-in curio cabinets with French door panes and stained glass dormer windows grace the parlor. The chandelier lit staircase leads to the second floor, random width heart pine throughout, to three bedrooms and two baths.
The master bath is fit for royalty- elegantly appointed with ceramic tile on walls and floor, granite vanity- all brand new, from the plumbing to the fixtures. The second bedroom has its own separate tiled dressing room.The third bedroom has its own bathroom along with its own balcony, so you can relax and enjoy the panoramic view of our back yard oasis.
As you leave the dining room, you pass by the butler's pantry, a room of its own, complete with built-in china cabinet. The kitchen, light and airy, is totally remodeled and has ceramic tile throughout- floor, countertops and kitchen island. Appliances are almost brand new- electric oven is self-cleaning, lit range hood, dishwasher in island, and 25 cubic' refrigerator. The laundry center/powder room lies off of the kitchen, and includes a stackable Kenmore washer and dryer.
As you exit through the French door onto the elevated rear porch, you enter our garden retreat, where you can relax to the soothing sound of water coming from the fish pond, amidst the luxuriant flowers, fruit trees, and foliage. The walkways meander through two pergolas, leading eventually to either carriage house, which contains counters for potting or crafts and shelves for storage, the writer’s cottage, which can be used to run a home business, or the secret stairway leading to the garage. The carriage house and patio have outside outlets and there are a variety of lights for nighttime use.
