This solid well cared for home, built in 1929 and located at 223 Sage Road in Rural Retreat, Virginia, offers a wonderful blend of character, space, and opportunity. The home features three bedrooms and two full baths, with the primary bedroom, full bath, living room, dining room, kitchen, and laundry room/enclosed porch all located on the main level. The enclosed back porch leads directly to a covered patio, providing a comfortable space to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Upstairs, you'll find two additional bedrooms and a full bath. Throughout the home, insulated replacement windows enhance energy efficiency, and beneath the existing carpet lie the original hardwood floors, ready to be brought back to life if desired. An example of their beauty can be seen inside the master bedroom closet. The home has a full unfinished basement with interior access and a wood stove, offering excellent storage or future finishing potential. Situated on 4.02 acres, the property includes a detached garage, an older barn, a large shed, an original cellar, and two additional outbuildings, ideal for storage, or hobbies. The property is located just out of town limits. The property also has the original well. For maintenance purposes, the metal/tin roof was sealed and freshly painted approximately two months ago. Part of the land also has road frontage on Earls Lane. This home has been lovingly cared for by the same family for many years and now invites updates to allow you to make it truly your own for many years to come. Conveniently located in Wythe County, Rural Retreat offers small-town charm with easy access to shopping, dining, schools, and medical facilities, as well as nearby attractions such as Rural Retreat Lake and Hungry Mother State Park, the New River, local hiking and horse trails, and the scenic beauty of Southwest Virginia. This property offers space, history, and potential, ready for its next chapter with a new owner to call it home.
