About This Home

As of May 2025

QUAINT and IDYLLIC! Nestled on a gently sloping, spacious lot in Chilhowie, this well-maintained country cottage oozes charm. The modern kitchen dazzles upon entry, showcasing white, glass front and light blue cabinetry accented by grey and white tile backsplash. Designed for those who enjoy cooking, this updated kitchen features a natural gas range, a center island (butcher block) with electric outlet for food prep, and a new SS Kitchen Aid dishwasher and a single bowl, double drainboard farmhouse style sink for cleanup. The main level living boasts beautifully refinished HW flooring, recessed lighting and showcases a modern open-concept design with a dining area and cozy den. Built in 1949, and remodeled in 2017, this 1278 finished sq. foot home includes 3 Bedrooms, 1 full bath and a laundry room on the main level. Upstairs, there's a floored, walk-up attic for storage. Downstairs there's a full unfinished heated basement with a 2nd full bath. The basement has unlimited potential and could be finished for additional living space, utilized as a workshop or be the perfect space for a home gym. Situated on an oversized lot (0.80 acre), there is the ''possibility'' of adding a second dwelling and/or garage on this property (subject to town/county approval). Schedule a private showing today to preview this one-level home located minutes from the heart of Chilhowie with convenient access to I-81. UPDATES: Upgraded 200-amp electrical service, newer HVAC system for central heat and air, insulated tilt windows and improved attic insulation. Since 2020, there's been a metal roof installed with 6-inch gutters with wide-spout drains, leaf filter Gutter Guard, stainless steel chimney liner, and a Drolet HT3000 high-efficiency stove. NOTE: The back property line is near a creek, but the creek is not part of this property. A portion of the back property is in a flood plain due to the creek, but the dwelling is not located in a flood plain.
