This looks like a fairytale house and it has an interesting history! It was built by TJ Collins of Collins Bros. It was originally built as a model home for the neighborhood, but this ended up being the one and only! So it is truly a one of a kind. While the house looks gothic and a bit earlier, it was built in 1927. Back then some builders were creating homes and neighborhoods that looked older than they were. The house is located in Staunton, Virginia. The house features a covered front porch, wood floors, baseboards, vintage stove, a lot of natural light, pressed tin ceiling and an enclosed back porch. There is a great shed in the backyard that matches the house. This home could use some of my pink roses climbing on that porch railing. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms and 1,852 square feet. $375,000

The inviting front porch leads you into a quant living room with a beautiful brick fireplace centering the space, skinny slat hardwood floors & lots of natural light. The doorway into the dining room from the living room was lovingly painted by a local artist (the owner), which ties the spaces together perfectly. It offers true one level living with the primary bedroom, completely renovated primary bathroom & laundry being located on the main level.
