Lots of storage and good attic for possible expansion. Sited on it's own half-acre island of land, 74 Keith Place is a custom home originally built for a Navy Admiral whose life in the service inspired the design. The house has features reminiscent of a ship with decks going from fore to aft affording lovely views of the golf course beyond and mountains in winter. The landscaping, with specimen trees that have grown up over time provide beautiful dappled shade. With three modes of access: via the garage to a complete garden level space; up stairs to the kitchen entry off the deck or via the formal entry around the side of the house, convenience has been built-in along with a lot of storage and a utility room closet that is below grade to keep your wine bottles just the right temperature. Large green double doors greet your guests to the main entry of the house, into a large separate foyer with beautiful vert-de-gris slate tile and a coat closet. To the right via a graceful archway is the octagonal living room with a gas fireplace, hardwood floors, two windows & sliding doors to the deck with access to lower decks. Left of the front door, via another archway, is the dining room with two windows and a hidden cupboard, hardwood floors and generous lighting. Adjacent is the large kitchen with new stainless appliances and a walk out to a deck for alfresco meals. A corridor off the entry foyer leads to a large ensuite Master Bedroom with door to the upper deck. Down the corridor is another bedroom and bath and a pull-down stair to the attic. This attic space, with its fine timbers, could be built into a treetop room. Off the entry foyer are carpeted stairs with wrought iron railings leading downstairs. A garage door opens to a spacious one-car garage with plenty of storage space or room for a workshop. The garage is a convenient way into the house and the driveway is level with room for several cars. The lower level also has the large utility room with high ceilings, vinyl flooring in the hallway and bedrooms, good light, and another bath (there are three RENOVATED baths in all). Down the corridor with great lighting are two additional rooms which could be offices or bedrooms and at the end, under the living room, the family room. A gas fireplace occupies the far end and access to the garden is possible via the door to the right of the fireplace. Come make this house your own! Basye-Bryce Resort is 1:30 to 2:00 hours from the DC metropolitan area and in the Allegheny Mountains of Shenandoah County. It has been a getaway from big city congestion since the 1900s. The community has underground utilities with high speed internet connections the norm. The Resort offers snow skiing and snowboarding in winter with great classes for all ages. Tubing, whether summer or winter is enjoyed by many. Golf, tennis, mountain biking, zip line and swimming and fishing in 46 acre lake Laura are among the summer activities, along with hiking in nearby National Forests and concerts four miles away at Orkney Springs. Lake Laura has recently been brought up to 500-year flood standards and a new Lodge was completed in January 2019. Private pilots can land at VG-18 SkyBryce Airport (daytime operations only) for breakfast at the Lodge a short walk away. The Airport Library is, we think, the only one in the lower 48. Temperatures tend to be 10 degrees and cooler and 10% less humid than at lower elevations.
