This week's featured listing is a sprawling property known as "Lavue." It consists of 60 acres of land and a handsome brick home as well as several outbuildings. Experience country living at its best for less than the price of a McMansion. Best of all, the unique features of the home, like original brick and wood floors, have been carefully maintained.
3232 Lavue Lane in Fredericksburg is a 5-bedroom house currently listed by Coldwell Banker Elite for $2,100,000. Built in 1818, this 19th-century farmhouse is on the Virginia Landmarks Register. Talk about a conversation starter!
The main floor of the house features receiving rooms that flow seamlessly into one another. While they may seem small by modern standards, you could easily open up the pocket doors for a more organic flow.
When it comes to kitchens, disregard the fairy lights and imagine how you'd put your own personal touches on the space. A little paint can go a long way!
One of the main selling points of this house is the incomparable location and the stunning views. An expansive veranda makes the most of both of them, providing a serene spot for your morning coffee.
Out back, the spacious pool deck will be a favorite spot for relaxing. Even though it's a modern addition, just look at all of that space for lounging and grilling out. You'll be everyone's favorite family member to visit when the weather's nice.
In addition to the main house, a 2-bedroom guest house provides more space for your out-of-town visitors. It would also be convenient if you plan on making any major renovations.
With 60 acres, you could easily make this a working farm again. The property includes a barn, sheds, and even a pool house. At this price, it's really quite a bargain for everything you'd be getting.
