The dining room features double doors that both open to the fantastic rear porch. The kitchen offers GRANITE COUNTERTOPS, white cabinetry, a blue tile backsplash, attractive blue pendant lighting, white appliances and additional cabinetry added for excellent storage. A stylish barn door leads to the convenient main-level laundry/pantry area with washer and dryer, shelving, additional pantry storage and a separate exterior door leading directly to the covered rear porch. A ceiling fan makes this a wonderful spot to relax and enjoy the absolutely gorgeous backyard.Mature landscaping includes two beautyberry bushes, a butterfly bush, lilac, holly tree, a beautiful front poplar and a gorgeous Kwanzan Cherry tree that puts on a spectacular flowering display each spring. Enjoy the concrete rear patio, partially fenced backyard, expansive side yard and shaded outdoor areas. The covered front porch adds even more curb appeal with maintenance-free railing and attractive faux-stone detailing along the steps and foundation. Additional features include a concrete driveway with ample off-street parking, a sidewalk along Manassas Avenue, pull-down hallway stairs to the unfinished attic, and crawl-space access where the furnace is located. But you truly must see to appreciate this lovely property. With its unusually large in-town lot, mature landscaping, wonderful porches, one-level floor plan, expansion possibilities and proximity to historic downtown Front Royal, this property offers a combination that is hard to find, especially at this price!
