About This Home

*ROOF IS SCHEDULED TO BE REPLACED IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS. * *The property is located in Clarke County even though it has a Front Royal address.* Welcome Home! This One-of-a-Kind custom beauty offers the space and comfort your family has been looking for!

As you turn into the driveway, you're instantly welcomed by a peaceful, private setting. These five wooded acres in scenic Clarke County offer the perfect blend of space, seclusion, and that “away-from-it-all” feeling all while being conveniently located near the Shenandoah River, Appalachian Trail), Front Royal, Berryville, Winchester and Rt. 50 (perfect for commuters!).

As you head to the house, a large, covered front porch invites you to slow down. It’s an ideal space for rocking chairs, morning coffee, and taking in the quiet beauty of your surroundings. From the porch, you step into the heart of the home: a warm and inviting kitchen. You’ll find a breakfast bar that’s perfect for casual meals or keeping an eye on homework while dinner simmers on the stove, plus a separate dining area for more formal occasions. To the left, the main-level family room offers rustic charm with a cozy hearth ready for a wood stove - perfect for chilly winter nights.

Down the hall to the right of the kitchen/dining area are two main-floor bedrooms, each with its own private bath. But the true showstopper is the spacious primary suite, featuring a room large enough for a king-size bed and sitting area, and not one but TWO walk-in closets. French doors lead out to the deck. The attached bathroom is a personal retreat with a large soaking tub, walk-in shower, and double vanities. At the end of the hall, a bright four-season sunroom offers a cheerful spot to read, relax, or enjoy the view all year round.

Upstairs, a custom-designed family room awaits with dramatic vaulted and beamed ceilings, a striking Palladian window, skylights, built-ins, and thoughtful accent lighting. A wet bar tucked in the corner makes it perfect for movie nights, game days, or entertaining. Just off this space, the fourth bedroom adds a whimsical touch with a vaulted ceiling and fun custom lighting.

Out back, the lifestyle really comes alive. A spacious deck wraps around a well-maintained above-ground pool—your own private retreat for summer barbecues, pool parties, or lazy afternoons. A pool house keeps all your gear organized and ready for fun.

And there's more! An attached two-car garage offers convenience, while a large detached garage provides endless possibilities: storage, hobbies, a studio, workshop, or future finished space.

This home is brimming with character, smart updates, and versatile spaces that effortlessly blend comfort, charm, and functionality. Don’t miss your chance to make this peaceful retreat your next home!
