Welcome to your home on the top of Porters Mountain, approximately 10 miles east of downtown Roanoke, VA. This lovely cottage-style home began in the early 1900s as a hunter's cabin and has evolved into a tranquil, comfort-filled home, complete with unique rustic touches. Over the past four years, the home has undergone extensive work to make it a perfect sanctuary of peace, birdsong and wildlife: foundation work; a new heating and cooling system; optimization of the existing well; new posts supporting the overhanging screened-in porch; new leaf-gard gutters on the entire house; a master bath remodel that includes a walk-in tub, new vanity, and bidet; a complete overhaul of a cook's kitchen walls and will include a new GE dishwasher, 2023; 3 sets of new doors; a 75-gallon hot water tank with lifetime warranty; two storage rooms, one newly refurbished; new entry hall flooring; new large capacity washing machine and energy efficient dryer; extra water-proofing in the basement; plus fresh paint throughout. The kitchen cabinet pulls are brass deer heads from England, and the rustic lodge-style light switches and outlet covers are adorned with cutouts of Deer, Bears, Coyotes, and other creatures that inhabit the mountain. The two oversized bedrooms offer more than enough space for additional items like bookcases, seating areas, and more. The master bedroom features two oversized double closets, while the second bedroom has its own set of ample double closets. A highlight of the second bedroom is the new set of French doors, which open directly onto the screened-in porch, making the two spaces feel like one very large room that flows evenly between the two spaces. Exposed beams give the living room/ dining area a warm, country feel. The home's floor plan features an easy flow and never more than one step to maneuver, securing the feel of one-floor living. The large laundry room features a new, extra-large tub washer, an energy-efficient electric dryer, and a large coat closet. The second full bath is located in the same room as the laundry, with a full tub, bidet/ toilet combination, and double vanities painted by a local artist. A large asphalt apron on the west side of the house provides parking for 7+ cars, and decks on the east and west sides of the home allow a view of spectacular sunrises and sunsets. A newly graded driveway utilizes a small ditch lined with rocks to divert excess water from the main road and down the drive, and is in the final stages of completion. An outbuilding located at the end of the parking apron currently houses the owner's workshop, with winter-time heat provided by an oversized wood-burning stove. Attached to the back side of the building is a garage/barn for all your outdoor tools and riding mower. Landscaping includes spectacular flower beds in front of the home surrounded by a hand-made rock wall, butterfly bushes, 5 Rose of Sharon trees, a Crepe Myrtle and lilac bush, forsythia bushes, Honeysuckle and wild raspberries, a huge fruit-bearing blackberry bush in the garden bed in front of the house and two apple trees located beside the drive opposite the house. Select items of furniture may be available for the new owner to negotiate. With Lowe's, a Walmart SuperCenter, Kroger's, CVS, restaurants, and more, just 12- 15 minutes down the mountain, the location provides a "Get-Away" feeling with all conveniences just minutes away. If you have been looking for a safe place to raise children, enjoy a back-to-nature feeling, or retire to, this mountain-top home is surrounded by a close-knit community of neighbors, making it the ideal location for a quiet or adventure-filled life. With mountain view property at a premium, this lovely home won't last long. Call for a viewing ASAP! Home is sold As Is: all remodeling work is first-rate; inspection is paid for and done by the buyer for information only.
