Property Description

The hardy, genteel dream home of builder Atwell Somerville rests on a hill less than a mile from the center of town. Inspired by a classic American farmhouse design, the all brick, plaster walled and hardwood floored building has 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, 2 sitting rooms, a dining room, a breakfast room as well as a Dutch doored kitchen. Housed under a young metallic roof, each room flows beautifully into the next but can also be completely compartmentalized for privacy and quiet. The master bedroom hosts an observation deck with a pleasant view of the characteristic rolling hills of the Virginia countryside. The 2 sitting rooms have a fireplace; one wood burning, one propane. An expansive basement leads to a spacious one car garage. Excellent kitchen appliances, a top-of-the-line propane generator, mini-splits for downstairs cooling and upstairs air conditioning support the owner?s comfort. The property offers a very rare backyard green space with a well landscaped patio, a privacy screen of mature evergreens and native trees all completely fenced in and gated so pet dogs and small children can?t leave the grounds.
