Welcome to your very own Shenandoah Valley farmhouse dream come true — a charismatic 100+ year-old home near the heart of Browntown where timeless charm, modern updates, peaceful vistas & the beauty of nature surround you literally at every turn. Built to capture stunning views from every window on 6+ glorious acres (with pond and two outbuildings), even Bob Dylan would love to work on “Maggie’s Farm” (named after the song and once a popular Christmas tree farm a few decades ago).
Significantly updated in recent years & spotless inside, this extraordinary property offers 4 bedrooms, 3 full plus 1 half baths, 3,400+ square feet of living space, and 4 distinct outdoor entertaining areas, including a 29-foot Trex side porch, 20-foot Trex front porch, two adjoining 22+ foot landscaped patio areas off the circular driveway and enchanting walkways surround the home.
Highlights include an enormous owner’s suite addition on each level, including one created for handicap-accessible mother-in-law quarters (featuring a 25x13 room with separate easy entrance adjacent to the main-level bedroom/bath suite). Both levels offer fantastic mountain views (including Hogback Mountain), and either could serve as a huge recreation room if a 4th bedroom is not needed. The upper room has a propane line for a future gas fireplace, and a propane heater was added in the mother-in-law suite. Remarkable storage space abounds inside & out (including 4 walk-in closets, a 14-foot bonus closet, cedar closet, and walk-in kitchen pantry). The dining room easily accommodates two tables, and the sellers have hosted 16 guests with ease. Flawless hardwood floors and original door hardware/antique glass offer timeless character throughout both levels.
Outside, the setting is simply magical. A sycamore-lined driveway welcomes you home, while a plethora of native plantings fill the property with beauty and seasonal color. The owners have lovingly cataloged 37 tree varieties, 21 forbs species, and 15 types of bushes, not including the successful garden plants (including an established asparagus patch) that thrive here. They have heartwarming stories of monarch butterflies, cherished plantings, and joyful gatherings both inside & out.
A beautiful gingko grove (with trail for walking or ATV riding) and a row of cypress trees create privacy, while a mature black walnut with a swing overlooks the pond. Enjoy fenced garden areas, 4 raised-bed gardens, approximately 2 acres fenced around the home (with a double entrance to keep pets safely enclosed when guests come & go), additional outbuildings (including a 20x18 tractor barn, a 12x10 garden shed with electricity, and an adjacent 12x4 lean-to).
