49 Schoolhouse Rd, Farmville, VA 23901

This renovated, charming and picturesque, one-of-a-kind home with solid bones began life more than 100 years ago as the local school. Its focal point is its 9' deep x 24' front porch that evokes a New Orleans vibe and will take your breath away with the sunset views it provides. Exquisite landscaping designed to naturalize and minimize maintenance, grants privacy and serves as additional settings for the fire-pit and slate patio in the iron-fenced yard. Garden paths, a workshop with power, fig & berry bushes, herb and vegetable gardens, and flowering plants are just a few more of the outdoor extras in this sanctuary located 4.5 mi from the Kingsville/Hampden-Sydney round-about and 10 mins from town. Inside, historic woodwork details in the dining room built-ins and the staircase, a vintage farmhouse sink, and cozy sleeping alcove add so much character you will not find in the ordinary "cookie-cutter" subdivision homes. Energy efficient windows, central heat and air, and 1st floor master with walk-in closet bring modern convenience to this delightful home. An added plus is Schoolhouse Road (the home's namesake)--a scenic dead-end road for convenient evening walks.
