See video & photos This is not your cookie-cutter new build — this home offers character you simply cannot replicate! Welcome to this truly distinctive early 1900s folk-style home in the Town of Strasburg, VA — a property that beautifully blends timeless character with modern updates. Situated along Rt. 55 with convenient access to I-81 and downtown amenities, this home offers both accessibility and the ability to relax on the covered front porch while enjoying scenic mountain views. Remodeled in late 2024, the majority of the home was taken down to the studs and rebuilt, with improvements throughout. Updates include 200-amp electrical service, new plumbing, new insulation, new windows, two brand-new heat pumps, and a new metal roof. The exterior preserves its historic charm with a mix of asphalt shingles and vinyl siding, maintaining the character of the original folk-home design. Inside, you'll find over 1,400 finished square feet filled with warmth and craftsmanship. Some original hardwood floors remain on the main level, complemented by deep windowsills, chair rail, and wainscoting accents that highlight the home's historic personality. The spacious kitchen-and-dining combo features striking white-pine tongue-and-groove ceilings, creating a rustic yet refined gathering space. A convenient side-covered entrance leads directly into the kitchen, and the main-level laundry adds everyday practicality. The family room areas center around an original brick chimney, giving the space heart and architectural interest. A flexible main-level bedroom offers versatility — ideal as a guest room, formal living room, dining room, or office. And conveniently located close to a full bath with a walk-in shower. Upstairs, a classic wooden banister leads to three additional rooms, including two guest bedrooms and a third room (without a closet) perfect for an office, craft room, or playroom, or an optional 4th bedroom. A spacious full bath with tub/shower combo serves the upper level. Carpeted stairs and upper level add comfort, while the floored attic provides additional storage space. A cellar offers even more storage flexibility. The generous .99-acre lot backs to trees and features expansive front, side, and rear yards. Outdoor highlights include: Covered front porch with mountain views Gravel driveway with a large parking area and room to turn around Concrete pad (ideal for a future outbuilding, patio, or basketball area) Rear shed for storage Space to potentially add a garage Additional acreage available for purchase if desired The septic system was repaired in 2026, offering added peace of mind. Town water and sewer hookup may also be an option. If you're looking for charm, space, mountain views, and convenience in Strasburg, this one is a must-see.
