Have you been dreaming of living in a truly historic house? This is a rare opportunity to experience all the enjoyment of living on a property that’s well known in this region and still being close to all Blacksburg has to offer. Feel taken back to the peace of the past, yet be close to it all--local schools (high and middle school within 1 mile, elementary within 2 miles), Virginia Tech (less than 5 miles), restaurants, stores, and 3 miles to 460. Originally built in 1799 by Henry Linkous and his wife Elizabeth Shiflet, the Linkous-Kipps house boasts an L-shaped farmhouse with weatherboarding that masks one of the county’s most substantial log dwellings. Nestled within this historically significant property is a charming kitchen that has been thoughtfully updated, seamlessly blending modern convenience with timeless allure. Listed on both VA Landmark Register & National Registry, it's eligible for federal & state preservation tax credits.
