Back on the market. Historic Home built at the beginning the nation's expansion westward, this home has two very large bedrooms with the original wood plank flooring. Estimated to have been constructed about 1777-78, the "Coach Stop House" was located on the Luray to Staunton Turnpike and served variously as a saloon and general public entertainment spot. During the 1860s it also was used as a stopping point for staff officers. Into storytelling? Some glass pieces are embedded on portions of the outside wall to fend off "bad vibes". A long porch runs the length of the home facing west. Depending on the season, one can see the nearby George Washington National Forest. Want to get outside? Visit Catherine's "Furnace", an iron ore forge that also produced charcoal and limestone for the area and is located less than 5 minutes from the site. Skyline Drive and the Shenandoah National Park are within a twenty-minute drive, Massanutten Ski slopes are nearby in the other direction. Want to be self-sufficient? There is a large garden space and storage sheds on site. Home operates on well water--so there is no city water bill, nor city taxes--County only. Heating: electric space heaters. Not ready to relocate? Home is presently rented and tenant is interested in staying. Home is being sold "AS IS." Outside: County recycling Center is within view.
