Six gracious bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and a thoughtful floor plan balance formal entertaining with everyday comfort. Recent updates elevate the home's timeless character: a tastefully refreshed kitchen, fresh paint throughout, and new light fixtures that complement the original hardwood floors, 9-foot ceilings, and three wood-burning brick fireplaces. Strategic tree removal now opens the views to their full, breathtaking potential. Entertain in the formal living and dining rooms, unwind in the glass-enclosed sunroom, or step onto the private brick patio ? then stroll to downtown Orange, one of Virginia's most charming small-town gems. Tree-lined streets, locally owned restaurants, boutique shopping, and a thriving Arts Center give this community a warmth and character that's increasingly rare to find. Dual-zone central A/C, a new Burnham boiler, full-height attic and basement, and parking for 4+ cars round out a home that is as practical as it is beautiful. ,Painted Cabinets,Quartz Counter,Fireplace in Living Room,Fireplace in Master Bedroom,Fireplace in Study/Library
