If these 24 inch thick walls could talk, they might whisper tales of Thomas Jefferson traipsing about nearby when he came to visit his beloved & awe inspiring Natural Bridge, once billed as one of the 7 natural wonders of the world and now a preserved and protected state park. They might tell of the history they have witnessed over the years or of the recent, extensive renovation which has now elevated this gorgeous place into an elegant & comfortable home. Walls rebuilt, bricks re-pointed, new zoned HVAC & mini split installed, kitchen transformed into a chef's dream w/built in brick oven, new roof & truss system, new bathrooms & insulation, glass replaced, walls replastered and painted & porches rebuilt. Move in ready or continue the process and add your own unique touches. This is the original home of the Arnold family, early settler's to the region and the namesakes of Arnold's Gap and Arnold's Valley, and has been brought back to life with numerous and detailed renovations. As possible, the characteristic features which distinguish long ago craftsmanship have been retained while modernizations which make the home comfortable and safe have been implemented by the current owner. Historic designation may be available (contact Rockbridge Area Historical Society). Ideal for a Bed & Breakfast or inn with Rt 11/I 81 interchange and Natural Bridge State Park only a few miles away.
