This sure is a pretty setting! I like that it has a bit of acreage with it! The house was built in 1940. It is located on five acres in Faber, Virginia. The house features a screened in front porch, a covered back patio, some wood floors, baseboards, spacious kitchen and chair rails. There is a detached storage shed on the property. This is the type of house where you could move in and make cosmetic changes room by room. Two bedrooms, one bathroom and 1,044 square feet. $289,000
