Solid, spacious, and full of potential—this all-brick Cape Cod (with mountain views) offers over 2, 500+ finished square feet in a location that’s hard to beat. It even offers in-law apartment potential in the fully finished lower level that can be accessed from the oversized 1-car garage. Set among mature oak trees, the lot is naturally shaded and requires little maintenance. Enjoy refreshing mountain views, twinkling town lights of Front Royal at night and incredible sunsets off the rear. The property also sits next to a town-owned parcel, providing a natural buffer and added privacy. There is an existing deck accessed by sliding doors from the family room—ready to be reimagined into a new outdoor space that takes full advantage of the tree-house-like setting. <br><br> Inside, the home offers a traditional and functional layout including a formal living room (20x12), formal dining room (13x10), main-level family room (19x11), and lower-level recreation room (25x12). The foyer opens to a classic staircase, with a large living room to the right featuring a faux fireplace. From there, double doors lead to the dining room, complete with chair railing, crown molding, and dimmer lighting, along with a pocket door to the kitchen. The kitchen offers great cabinet and counter space, an eat-in area, room for a future island, and a lovely mountain view from the sink. Appliances include a microwave, smooth top range, refrigerator, and dishwasher. Just off the kitchen is a welcoming family room with a wood burning fireplace, brick mantle, built-in shelving, and sliding doors to what can become a future new deck. <br><br> Upstairs, there are three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The owner’s suite has private access to a full bath (also accessible from the hall), and the additional bedrooms are nicely sized with ceiling fans. A second full hall bath serves the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms. The lower level adds flexibility with a recreation room featuring built-in shelving, a full bathroom, laundry area, and a guest room (not a legal bedroom due to window size) that could work well as an in-law or guest suite, especially with level entry from the garage. The deep one-car garage (28x12) includes an opener and additional storage space. Freezer, washer, and dryer all convey. A woodstove is present but not currently hooked up. <br><br> Location is exceptional—just 2 minutes to shopping, 1 mile to historic downtown Front Royal, 2 miles to the Shenandoah River, National Park and Skyline Drive, five minutes to the high school, one mile to both elementary and middle schools, and just over 5 easy minutes to I-66 (Exit 13 – Linden). The home will require updates including drywall repair, paint, flooring throughout, and kitchen/bath improvements—but offers great bones, a flexible layout, and a setting that’s hard to replicate. Sellers are offering a closing cost credit that can be applied toward flooring, painting, or buyer closing costs. FYI roof was replaced May 2021.<br><br>There’s something special about this house– words and photos don’t do it justice. Take your tour and feel the love inside for yourself (sellers have made memories here for 44+ years)!
