About This Home
Built in 2023, this one-level home has a unique layout that can be used in a few different ways depending on your needs. Main-level living with NO STAIRS, including an area with its own exterior entrance — ideal for multigenerational living, guests, a home business, private office space, or rental income. The oversized 3-car garage adds roughly 1,100 square feet and provides even more possibilities— currently used as a gym, but easily suited for car enthusiasts, a workshop, studio, or additional storage. Inside, the home is open and bright with 10’ ceilings, LVP flooring, tiled bathrooms, stainless steel appliances, and a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace as the focal point. The ductless mini-split system allows for individualized temperature control in each room, increasing comfort and cost-savings. Additional features include 400-amp electric service, paved driveway, rear yard hydrant & drainage for gardening or future use, and conduit already in place beneath the driveway for a future balcony deck. Set in the countryside with quick access to I-66, Route 17 and 29, and just minutes to Warrenton, The Plains, and Marshall — you get peace and quiet, and convenience. This is one worth seeing in person (and the seller is motivated!). Schedule a tour today!
