This stately custom home was designed by the highly esteemed Washington Reed, Jr., one of the original architects of the historic Williamsburg restoration (and constructed by J.W. Smith). On the market for the very first time by the original owner, the all-brick showplace is replete with upgrades from oak hardwood floors to three wood-burning fireplaces (one has been converted to gas), from high end custom woodworking to extensive hardscape and from abundant closet space to immense windows which allow sunlight to bathe both levels of this well-maintained property. The spacious kitchen is freshly painted and features handmade cherry cabinetry, beamed ceilings (from a historic property in Winchester), a wet bar, island w/ seating for four, Jen air cooktop, wall oven, double sink and room for a trash compactor. Lovely hand painted artwork graces the massive dining room and the jaw dropping great room has been freshly painted (along with several other rooms). From the window-filled lower bedroom/recreation room (with a brick wood burning fireplace) to the delightful side brick patio (with stone wall), it's obvious why the original owner spent 60+ years making memories with his family on this corner lot just two blocks from both historic downtown Front Royal and Shenandoah River access.
