Welcome to Bluefield–a majestic federal style all brick showplace with mountain views, gunite pool and a 4,800+ sq ft immaculate 5/6 bed and 3.5 bath estate on 6+ acres. Nestled at the end of a private road and adjacent to 3,000+ acres of Smithsonian government protected land, this tastefully updated property offers country seclusion (with NO HOA/NO covenants) yet is located within town limits (merely 3 minutes from both historic downtown Front Royal and Warren Memorial Hospital). Owners have invested approximately $25k in getting property ready for the market and are offering a home warranty for buyer’s peace of mind.
