The enormous finished basement that the kids could run circles around on a rainy day. 4. The amount of storage capacity! We never missed having a garage because of the storage room in the basement, attic and all the parking spaces. 5. The quiet and helpful neighbors that value privacy but are always willing to lend a hand. 6. The sunset deck that doubles as a safe spot to place garbage containers far from the wildlife. 7. The creek that the kids loved playing in, especially on those warm days when the pool is closed. 8. The view in the dining room of the Shenandoah reflecting below on a winter day. 9. The driveway angles so that the sun hits perfectly during the day and melts the snow for us, saving us quite a few shoveling jobs. 10. Family hikes on the property and down to the river watching the wildlife, especially the bald eagles.

FOR SALE — 361 Walnut Drive Front Royal, VA 22630 — over $200k in recent updates!
Nestled at the base of the Skyline Drive in the sought-after Belmont subdivision, this showplace benefits from nearly $200,000 in updates since 2011 (be sure to review the spreadsheet for details). Perfectly situated on over one professionally landscaped acre, it offers a brilliant combination of a “beach house meets Southern Living” appeal thanks to the vision of the owners and their superb architects. The property has been graced with a plethora of additions and enhancements both inside and out during its eighty years of serving as a beloved residence for only two families since its origin in 1940. The current owners are downsizing as they embrace their retirement years, but shared, “out of the 19 homes I’ve owned in my lifetime, this has been my favorite.” The seller loves most his man cave, office and workshop in his basement getaway while his wife most appreciates that “it’s so comfortable and beautiful and has room for all of our family and easily accessible room for all of our stuff with the walk-in attic and basement.”

Absolutely gorgeous, updated, upgraded, remodeled home! Still true to original charm, this home is a must-see! Located right off the double bridges, you are conveniently located close to everything including I-66 for easy commuting. The history of this property could possibly date back to the 1800s in portions of the home.
A bit of history: The land the home is built on was part of what was once a 3,600-acre land grant to William Russell by the governor and Council of Virginia in 1735. In 1826, 220 acres of that land was inherited by Samuel M. Spengler, and he completed construction of the first home on the street,1315 Old Winchester Pike Riverside in 1850. In 1854, the house passed to Major James R. Richards, who supposedly won it in a hand of poker. The house now sits on two and one-half acres of land. The property remains in the family. During the Civil War, the family witnessed troop movements and battles. Riverside provided a hospital, hide-out, and meals for soldiers. Ashby Parker O’Malley, owner. (Information found in a brochure from Garden Club of Warren County 2015)
It is thought the homes around 1315 Old Winchester Pike, including the property for sale at 1324 were homes that have been built throughout the years for other family members of the main home discussed in this paragraph of history.
Top recent improvements that have made 1324 Winchester Pike a modern-day showplace:

An online auction of some of the property’s contents will be held on 9/17 (bidding has already begun HERE). See related Royal Examiner article about the auction HERE. An open house will be held this Sunday 9/20 from 1:30-4:30.
ABOUT THE PROPERTY: Nestled at the end of a lovely rock wall-lined meandering driveway (framed by pillars at each end) is a 3 bedroom*, 3.5 bath home (offering one-level/handicap accessible living) intended to be the guest house for a future showplace ($17k house plans can convey for a 3,500 sq ft timber framed home slated to be erected overlooking the ponds).
Enjoy amazing sunsets, serene seclusion amongst adjacent 50+ acres properties, a turnkey home (with an expansion of living space included in the list price) and a convenient location just three minutes from 522, four miles to amenities in Flint Hill and 15 minutes from Front Royal or Little Washington.
*The third bedroom is a future main level master suite with a spacious adjacent bathroom (slated to be completed prior to closing & included in the list price). Buyer may choose to have the area finished into a recreation room, formal dining room or additional living space if they prefer that to a main level master. The addition will include two extra windows (one in the bathroom, one in the bedroom). Seller has not constructed the addition to allow future buyers the option of leaving the area unfinished for a discounted price.
