About This Home
Just 20 minutes from Liberty University and a stone throw from Sweet Briar, this beautiful brick ranch in Amherst sits on a lovely large lot with mountain views. Appreciate the updates galore including roof and windows replaced in 2018, New HVAC with Air Scrubber, generator, solar panels, updated master bath. A partially finished basement with a room used as a 4th bedroom and a separate office and full bath allow for even more room to grow and expand. Outside, the peaceful setting also boast a playset, rain barrels, huge detached garage/workshop with attached indoor/outdoor dog kennels. The overhangs on each side would make great chicken coops or greenhouses with a little ingenuity and a huge space for a garden is just calling your homestead just outside of the city dreams!
