June 24, 2025

This is in a really pretty area of Virginia! I love the staircase in this house; it’s unique! And who else wants the kitchen table? The house was built in 1880. It is located on .65 acre in Rural Retreat, Virginia. The house features a covered front porch, nice staircase, vintage light fixtures, wood floors, wide baseboards, transom windows and wainscoting. First thing I would do is get rid of drop ceilings. This house looks livable, so one could easily work room by room. Four bedrooms, two bathrooms and 3,488 square feet. $125,000
