About this home
This nearly 2,400 sf remarkably PRIVATE & PEACEFUL four bedroom “treehouse” (with 2 car garage and full unfinished walkout basement offering a potential 1,100+ finished sf) is situated on 5 VIEW-FILLED acres (Shenandoah River and Blue Ridge Mountain views from nearly every window). This setting truly feels like a fairy tale and it is no wonder why the seller calls the property her “treehouse” (she custom built it to capitalize on views and privacy yet provide easy access). Located just 1 mile down Browntown Road, the nicely paved little-known Cardinal Wind Drive (yes, birdwatchers will delight) boasts only two houses (the other home is at the far end and can’t be seen) and is tucked at the base of the Shenandoah National Park with nature as its neighbor. This property is approximately 3 MILES FROM EVERYWHERE (Shen River access, shopping, schools, historic downtown Front Royal, Eastham river trails/playground/dog park, library) and 8 easy miles from I-66 exit 13 (Linden). No need to drive up a mountain or 20 minutes outside of town to access this home! And no need to spend hours every weekend on a lawn tractor! This tree-filled property still offers several delightful mossy yard areas (to include a spot with a delightful tree swing) and spectacular sunsets from the 24x12 rear deck (that has extra wide steps that lead to a walkway to the generous parking area off the lovely driveway.
