Whether you’re searching for a full-time residence, weekend retreat, workshop haven, or exploring the possibility of a short-term rental (subject to county approval), this property offers a unique setting in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley. The detached garage/workshop is a standout feature, complete with its own dedicated electrical service. Two 30-amp RV hookups, one by the house and one by the garage, providing even more flexibility for guests, hobbies, travel trailers, or potential rental use. Inside, the home offers over 2,200 finished square feet with an open, inviting feel. Vaulted ceilings and skylights bring in great natural light, and the fireplace adds warmth to the main living area. A second sitting room just off the kitchen provides additional flexible living space. The finished lower level includes a rec room, office space, new flooring (2025), and a recently added half bath. The primary bedroom features built-in closet organizers, a fully updated bathroom, and a private porch, perfect for relaxing. Outdoor living is where this property truly shines, with expansive hosting space out back, a welcoming front porch, and a spacious back deck complete with a beautiful stone fireplace providing multiple places to gather and entertain. Mature trees and the sound of the creek create a setting that feels like a getaway every single day. Perfectly positioned to enjoy everything the Shenandoah Valley has to offer, the home is just minutes from Skyline Drive, Shenandoah National Park, and Skyline Caverns. Spend your weekends floating the Shenandoah River, hiking trails, exploring wineries, or enjoying the charm of Downtown Front Royal. Recent improvements include French drains, new gutters, crawl space water barrier, replaced sump pumps (2024), sump basin alarms (2025), a new well pump (2022), an owned Culligan water softener system (2023), and new Samsung kitchen appliances (2023) refrigerator, dishwasher, oven, microwave, washer, and dryer.
