1258 F T Valley Road

Description

Hilltop House is sited just so on a high knoll above the FT Valley. From this lofty perch, the home enjoys a wonderful 360-degree panorama of bucolic farmland backed by forested foothills and the majestic Blue Ridge Mountains.The 4-bedroom, 2.5 bath home is a solid 1960s brick rancher that was a significant house in its day. Because of the quality of the original construction, the home has beautifully withstood the years but is now in need of remodeling and updating. In addition to its spectacular setting, the home has a number of unique features including site-built wormy chestnut cabinetry, large rooms, a delightful screened porch and a semi-circular flagstone terrace overlooking an idyllic view.Similar to the home, the 6 acres of lawns, grounds and gardens need some sprucing up but there is a lot to work with here too. The home is shaded by several impressive oaks and maples and there is a magnificent old white oak on one corner of the property. A prominent rock outcropping and several dramatic dogwoods add natural interest. A flagstone walkway leads to the front entrance and split rail fence separates the rear yard from the neighboring pastures. The property is accessed by a paved driveway.Hilltop House has a great location on the FT Valley Road, a designated scenic byway. It is about 2 miles south of Sperryville and only minutes from the Shenandoah National Park. It has easy access to many of the popular attractions in Culpeper, Charlottesville, Madison and Culpeper, and the surrounding area. Close by is the village of Sperryville that has become the new, thriving heart of Rappahannock County. Recent years have seen the addition of a coffee shop, two tiny breweries, Haley Fine Art Gallery, a wood-fired pizza kitchen, an outdoor gear and lifestyle shop, Stonewall Abbey Wellness and Yoga, and Three Blacksmiths. Sperryville is also home to the Corner Store, Hair Gallery, antiquing, several shops, multiple restaurants, Copper Fox Distillery, and a nine-hole golf course.
