It's not often that a property like this comes along within Staunton city limits. Set on 5.42 acres, this lovingly cared-for farmette offers a lifestyle that's becoming so hard to find. The property features established perennial plantings, an expansive garden protected by full-height deer fencing, a garden shed, a tool & hobby shed, an old barn, and acres of open pasture that could once again support livestock with the addition of fencing. Inside, you'll find more than 1,700 square feet of living space, including 3 beds, 2 full baths, impressive wood craftsmanship and details lovingly designed by the current owners, even a custom-cooled pantry ready for your canned harvest. A recent addition provides extra living space, an office, and access to a sprawling deck. Beneath the home, a conditioned crawl space with approximately 5'6" of height allows for easy maintenance and additional storage. Surrounded by mature trees yet just minutes from downtown Staunton, the property offers a rare balance of privacy and accessibility. As an added bonus, a BRAND-NEW ROOF will be installed on the original portion of the home next week, and a recent appraisal has already been completed. Some homes check boxes. This one offers a way of life.
