Tucked away at the end of the road on 2.11 private acres bordering a 1,500-acre portion the Jefferson National Forest, this fully renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers the perfect blend of modern comfort, natural beauty, and historic, rustic charm. Highlights of the property include: privacy; serene setting, and a running stream along one side of the property. Miles of marked hiking trails of the National Forest just outside your front door. A detached, oversized 2-bay garage with epoxy floors and wired with electric. Lots to love about this updated home including: open floor plan; beautiful kitchen with butcher-block countertops, added island, new soft-close cabinets, new stainless appliances (including large french-door refrigerator and gourmet double-door electric range with 5-burner top); new flooring throughout; updated bathrooms; freshly painted; spacious, owner's suite upstairs with cathedral ceilings and access to 2nd story, covered balcony overlooking the property; new metal roof; and newly-connected high-speed internet/wifi. Home has a flex room that can serve as an office, playroom, or guest space. Outside features a spacious deck overlooking a serene stream, plus two-story covered porch creating the ideal setting for relaxation or entertaining. Beside the home, you'll find a versatile, historic, stone-foundation outbuilding perfect as a wine cellar, canning space, or storage for all your outdoor adventures. Plus, outbuilding has separate room that could be finished and used for office, 'she shed', 'man cave', etc. Despite its private, wooded setting, the property is only 6 miles from I-81, offering convenient access and proximity to quaint and desirable town of Marion and surrounding area while still feeling like a true mountain retreat. In addition to bordering the Jefferson National Forest, the Appalachian Trail, Grayson Highlands State Park, Mount Rogers National Recreation area and Hungry Mother State Park are all nearby.
