About This Home
This nearly 2,400 sf remarkably PRIVATE & PEACEFUL four bedroom “treehouse” (with 2 car garage and full unfinished walkout basement offering a potential 1,100+ finished sf) is situated on 5 VIEW-FILLED acres (Shenandoah River and Blue Ridge Mountain views from nearly every window). This setting truly feels like a fairy tale and it is no wonder why the seller calls the property her “treehouse” (she custom built it to capitalize on views and privacy yet provide easy access). Located just 1 mile down Browntown Road, the nicely paved little-known Cardinal Wind Drive (yes, birdwatchers will delight) boasts only two houses (the other home is at the far end and can’t be seen) and is tucked at the base of the Shenandoah National Park with nature as its neighbor. This property is approximately 3 MILES FROM EVERYWHERE (Shen River access, shopping, schools, historic downtown Front Royal, Eastham river trails/playground/dog park, library) and 8 easy miles from I-66 exit 13 (Linden). No need to drive up a mountain or 20 minutes outside of town to access this home! And no need to spend hours every weekend on a lawn tractor! This tree-filled property still offers several delightful mossy yard areas (to include a spot with a delightful tree swing) and spectacular sunsets from the 24x12 rear deck (that has extra wide steps that lead to a walkway to the generous parking area off the lovely driveway. FANTASTIC FLOORPLAN–enjoy the 42 foot long front porch (with swing), the gigantic formal living and dining rooms, the view-filled family room off the huge kitchen, the spacious main and upper foyers (main level has a half bathroom off center hallway), the 4 bedrooms/2 huge bathrooms on the upper level, the roomy laundry/mud room (with pantry and utility sink) off the kitchen and garage. VIEWS FROM ALL ROOMS! The primary bedroom offers a large owner’s bathroom area. The second oversized bedroom has convenient access to the fourth bedroom (would make a great home office). FEATURES TO NOTE: Brick fireplace (converted to propane w/blower for added heat), Rough in plumbing in basement for a future full bathroom, Conveying washer/dryer, Storm door from garage to house, Pull-down attic steps w/ flooring and fan, Storage under deck, Conventional septic, High speed internet, Deep closets, Hardwood floors (living room, dining room, staircase), Attractive plank flooring in family room/kitchen/foyers, Corian counters (added in 2017), 4-person breakfast bar, Pull-out cabinetry, Built in desk area in kitchen, Picture window w/winter views of river, Ceiling fans (in 3 bedrooms, family and living rooms), Chair railing, Double sinks in huge hall bath (that also has a built in seated makeup area and linen closet), Home warranty offered!
