This property is all about potential, offering the ease of one-level living along with an unfinished basement that presents endless possibilities for expansion and creativity. Built in 1974 and lovingly maintained by its original owner, this home is ready for a new chapter and invites your personal touch to bring it to life once again. It is being sold "as is". Enter the home from the covered back porch, a peaceful spot with panoramic views perfect for relaxing and watching the sunset. Inside, the oversized kitchen offers ample space for updates and is thoughtfully designed for informal gatherings. A picture window above the sink frames views of the scenic backyard, while a convenient vestibule off the kitchen includes the laundry room, pantry, and a half bath. At the front of the home, the formal living and dining rooms provide plenty of space for entertaining. The living room features a charming wood-burning fireplace, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. On the opposite side of this shared wall is the spacious family room, where the other side of the fireplace adds character and comfort. Both rooms feature mantles, perfect for displaying your favorite treasures, and windows along the back of the home let sunlight pour into this welcoming space. All four bedrooms are located on the far side of the home, offering privacy and comfort. The three secondary bedrooms are well-sized and share a full hall bath with a tub and vanity. The primary suite at the end of the hall is a serene retreat with windows on two sides, allowing you to enjoy more of the beautiful property views. The primary bathroom includes dual vanities, a walk-in closet, and a private water closet with a stall shower. From the kitchen, make your way down to the unfinished basement—a truly impressive space filled with potential. The highlight is the floor-to-ceiling stone hearth with a wood-burning fireplace, a stunning focal point waiting to anchor a finished living area. With numerous windows for natural light and two exterior exits—a sliding glass door and a single swing door leading to the side yard—this area is ideal for creating an in-law suite, recreation room, or expanded living quarters. Outside, the five-acre lot is the crown jewel of the property, offering privacy, open space, and breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. Whether you dream of gardening, outdoor entertaining, or simply enjoying the peace of rural living, this land offers endless opportunities. Located near a major commuter lot for easy access to Washington, DC, and just minutes from the charming town of Culpeper, this home offers the perfect balance of country tranquility and modern convenience. Culpeper’s vibrant downtown features dining, shopping, boutiques, healthcare facilities, and recreational amenities. A rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind country home with so much potential—come see it for yourself and imagine all the possibilities that await.
