This thoughtful design of one floor living, with high end finishes, including 9' ceilings, contribute to marking this cottage a perennial favorite. A huge 3rd bedroom & 3rd bath on the second floor offers additional quiet space. There is a surprisingly, large amount of storage space, including California style primary closets; and a nice outbuilding. This home sparkles with beautiful, natural light and plenty of wiggle room for a large crowd. The covered front porch is detailed with Bull Run Ledgestone inviting gatherings while offering beautiful Massanutten Mtn. views. This is a charming home nestled in the highly desirable neighborhood of Preston Lake, conveniently located to the city, JMU and hospital; and benefiting from a substantially lower real estate tax rate while offering more living for the money in county life.
