You can have the best of old and new: live in this light-filled, move-in-ready house with a fantastic layout on a quiet, non-through street less than a mile from beautiful, historic downtown Warrenton. 332 Preston Drive has a large eat-in kitchen open to the spacious family room and dining room, with 10-foot ceilings, large windows, and gleaming oak floors that make this space light and bright. The clever design has a breakfast counter that seats 3 and also hides kitchen clutter. The gas range, stainless steel dishwasher, and extra-large kitchen sink are brand new. The maple kitchen cabinets have 42-inch uppers, and the pantry closet offers more storage. <BR> <BR> With the primary bedroom suite and laundry room on the first floor, you can have one-level living — but there is also a bedroom, bathroom and large bonus playroom or office on the second floor. The first floor has two more bedrooms, plus a hall bathroom. The huge unfinished basement offers lots of storage, walk-up stairs to the back yard, and rough-in plumbing for a full bathroom. The family that lived here — with three children — found the home so spacious that they didn’t need to finish the basement. <BR> <BR>The covered front porch has ample space for a few comfortable chairs. The entire house was just painted, and all the carpet replaced. The house has a security system and 200-amp electrical panel. The kitchen/dining area opens to a Trex deck and a screened gazebo. The house backs up to well-maintained open green space belonging to a school; when school is not in session, you are free to use the playground, basketball courts and soccer field. <BR> <BR> Warrenton’s thriving historic district with its many stores, restaurants, cafes and weekly farmer’s market is within walking distance. The Aquatic and Recreation Facility, with two indoor pools, a playground, playing fields, walking paths and a skatepark is minutes away by car, as is a hospital with a 24-hour emergency room. Warrenton is nestled in the heart of Virginia’s wine and horse country, with easy access to Skyline Drive and Shenandoah National Park.
