About This Home

As of March 2012

Lots of potential in this 1940s Craftsman-inspired bungalow, with a modern addition that could be used as a separate suite. This charming home is located on popular Browntown Road, close to town and all amenities, but equally handy for Skyline Drive, the National Forest and the Shenandoah River. Live the country life without the inconveniences! This property is being sold "As is, where is".
