This is your chance to own a piece of American history! This home was Lieutenant General Lewis "Chesty" Pullers retirement home. If you know of the general you will know he was the Marines most highly decorated officer. Chesty relaxed and worked on his books right from this very porch, lined with mature English box woods that have been there for over 80 years. The home has been well cared for over the years as you will notice. Recently the roof was replaced, along with the gutters, the crawl space was refurbished with a new vapor barrier. A fresh coat of paint has just been applied to the exterior. The hard wood floors were refinished and walls repainted to keep this house in stunning shape. The home features a large back yard 3+ acres with a detached garage with plenty of outdoor area for a pool or garden. The outdoor fire pit is adjacent to your own grape arbor perfect for wines or jelly. New Stainless appliances along with new windows through out the house means maintenance free living for years to come. The owners suite is on the first floor with 2 additional bedrooms upstairs. The charm and history of this home shines as soon as you walk through the front door. From the oak stair case to the formal dining area and sitting room, the current owners worked relentlessly to keep the home in top shape to honor Chesty and maintain this piece of history. Located 25 mins from Gloucester and 1 hr from Richmond makes this a perfect get away to small town Saluda. Located only minutes from Urbanna with quaint shops and restaurants and home of the Oyster Festival.
