Don’t judge a book by its cover! Sure wasn’t expecting that interior! I like the water feature and this is a great area! The house was built in 1958. It is located on 2.52 acres in Galax, Virginia. The house features a large wrap around deck, a back deck, wood flooring, knotty pine, updated kitchen, baseboards, built-in china cabinet, updated bathrooms, vaulted ceiling, knotty pine and a laundry room. There is an english basement that has been maintained quite nicely. The water feature is pretty cool! Three bedrooms, two bathrooms and 2,070 square feet. $269,000
