With 4,168 finished square feet, this traditional yet versatile layout offers room for everyone to spread out and truly feel at home. Featuring 5 upper level bedrooms, a main level private office, and a fully finished basement in-law suite complete with a full bath, additional den, gym, and private entrance, this home is designed to grow with you and adapt to your lifestyle. The main level beautifully blends traditional architecture with modern flow, offering both defined spaces for privacy and an open layout ideal for entertaining and everyday connection. Step outside to a fenced backyard and covered deck, where mountain views create a peaceful backdrop for morning coffee or evening gatherings. Beyond the home, enjoy everything Front Royal has to offer, from nearby parks, trails, and bike lanes to Shenandoah National Park and Skyline Drive. Spend weekends exploring local restaurants, shops, and wineries or take advantage of public river access for kayaking and outdoor adventure. Seasonal events and small-town charm make this location just as special as the home itself. Extensive updates and major system improvements provide peace of mind for years to come. A high-efficiency HVAC system, a new furnace, and a new water heater were installed in 2022, along with a whole-home air purification and HEPA filtration system (2024), new roof (2024), and a new sump pump (2024). Interior enhancements include updated upstairs flooring (2021), a refreshed main level half bath (2023), and a beautifully renovated primary ensuite bathroom (2025). An electric fireplace (2025) adds warmth and character, while the basement was further enhanced with a renovated kitchenette (2025), making it ideal for multi-generational living or guest accommodations. Additional upgrades include a Tesla charger and electrical panel surge protector (2025), a freshly painted deck (2025), and improved exterior features such as a new front door and garage doors (2026). This turnkey home is truly a place to settle in, spread out, and enjoy everything this incredible area has to offer. Welcome home!
