Upstairs, you'll find the spacious primary suite, accompanied by two additional bedrooms offering beautiful views. The finished lower level adds even more flexibility with a bright living area, flex room that's currently an additional bedroom, patio access, and a built-in garage/workshop. With 13.3 acres, there is plenty to enjoy beyond the home. Explore wooded trails, tend a garden, gather around the fire pit, or take advantage of the barn, large woodshed, RV pad and hookup, two driveways, and an as-is cabin. Whether that means a second home site down the road, space for parents or adult kids, or simply room that is yours, the land gives you options. Numerous improvements add to the property's appeal, including a metal roof installed in 2022, whole-house generator added in 2023, new garage door and expanded rear deck in 2025, and a new wood front porch in 2026. The propane system was also upgraded with a 500-gallon leased tank relocated away from the main yard. Whether you're searching for an acreage property, farmhouse, homestead, multigenerational setup, home with workshop space, or a private wooded retreat with convenient Route 220 access to Roanoke and Greensboro, this unique property offers space and possibilities that are increasingly hard to find.
