There is 7'X8' storage building as well as a covered fireplace adjacent to the home. The entire 5.2 acre property is maintained in a natural state and is a Certified Wildlife Habitat. The 300 foot rise in elevation on the property provides ample opportunity for exercise and the viewing of abundant wildlife. Additional updates include the tastefully renovated upstairs half bath using the original 1950's fixtures. Adjoining the kitchen is a nice tiled mud room which includes the laundry, with a nice view through the sliding glass door to the hill side at the rear of the house. A small room which can be used as a dressing room, an office, or a nursery is located off of the main floor bedroom. Entrance is gained to a delightful sun room from the deck on the south facing side (front) of the home. Both fireplaces one on the main floor and one in the basement have easy access to the gas line to facilitate their being plumbed for gas logs if so desired. A spacious room located to the rear of the main basement room is wired for chest type freezer and contains a half bath. Two thirty amp RV outlets are located in separate locations in the yard to accommodate a small camper. Most of the property is located behind the house eastward up Little Brushy Mountain. Part way up the mountain an impressive rock outcropping provides a nice resting spot for the quiet observer to catch glimpses of the abundant fauna and to study the native flora. We know that spring is close at hand when the crocuses and anemones start popping up their tiny, brightly colored blooms across the yard scape. The types of flowering trees, shrubs and plants on the property are way too numerous to list in this description, but, do include 2 magnolia trees, multiple rhododendrons, mountain laurel and dogwoods. To the north of the house a wonderful view of Havens Wildlife Management area can be enjoyed in all seasons. This property is an oasis of peace in a chaotic world strategically located in the beautiful Roanoke Valley.
