Description

Nestled quietly on a dead-end street overlooking the peaceful Laurel Creek River and the Virginia Creeper Trail, this exceptionally well-maintained home offers a rare opportunity to enjoy comfort, privacy, and walkable living in the heart of Damascus, Virginia. Lovingly cared for and thoughtfully updated by one family since 1975, the property reflects decades of pride of ownership. The main level welcomes you with a spacious living room filled with natural light, warm wood floors, and a beautiful stone fireplace with gas logs that creates an inviting place to gather with family and friends. The eat-in kitchen has been impeccably maintained and offers abundant cabinetry, generous prep space, a peninsula with seating for barstools, and room for a large dining table-- perfect for everyday meals or celebratory gatherings. Just beyond, the covered back porch provides a peaceful setting to relax and enjoy the soothing sounds of the river below. The main level also features a sizable primary suite with space for a king-sized bed and a private adjoining bath. Two additional bedrooms are comfortably sized and share a large hall bathroom, all updated in fresh, neutral colors that feel bright and welcoming. The lower level offers incredible flexibility for recreation, hobbies, a home office, or additional living quarters. A second fireplace anchors the comfortable downstairs living area, creating a cozy atmosphere with room for multiple uses. The basement-level half bath is a practical convenience. French doors lead to a covered outdoor sitting area, which provides shade and another spot to enjoy the peaceful surroundings! An attached two-car garage is a rare and valuable find in downtown Damascus, providing excellent space for parking, bikes, kayaks, outdoor gear, tools, and storage. Outside, the level yard offers room for gardening and entertaining, while the generously sized driveway provides parking for multiple cars. Quietly tucked above the river yet just moments from downtown Damascus and the Virginia Creeper Trail, this home offers a truly special location. Properties combining this level of care, space, convenience, and setting rarely become available!
