Less than 5 miles from historic Lexington, VA, this lovely custom home designed by Kirchner & Associates Architects is on the market for the first time. The 3.02 acre lot with long-range seasonal views is a nature-lover's delight, a retreat with mature hardwoods and hundreds of choice perennials and shrubs. Appreciate the setting from inside, through large windows and numerous French doors, and outside from a full-length front porch, a generous screened porch, and an elevated rear deck. Featuring a primary suite, formal and informal living areas, eat-in kitchen, and laundry on the main level, the home is built into a hillside; the mostly-finished lower level has 4 bedroom options (currently 2 BRs and 2 offices), a full bath, walkout access to a gravel patio, and extensive storage spaces.
