This is the ultimate in a weekend retreat. The home is
elevated on the hillside to make the most of the scenic views of distant
mountain ranges, and of the Cacapon River down below. The Crossing at
Great Cacapon is a gated, riverfront, recreational community in the
mountains of Hampshire County, WV. This community is easily accessed
in 45 minutes from Winchester, Va., and is just over 2 hours from the DC
Beltway. This beautiful log home is situated on
3.29 acres. The land is
mostly cleared, and the home backs to woods, offering a nice buffer of
privacy. The upper deck wraps on 3 sides, leading to a very nice screened
porch. This porch side takes advantage of the shade, and long range mountain
views to enjoy from your rocking chair. Straight below, from the front of
the home, the Cacapon River can be seen in the distance. There is a
common area for the development within sight and walking distance, where you
can enjoy a picnic at riverside, or access into the river for recreational
purposes. The community offers 3 points of access to the river, along
with a nice picnic pavilion and playground area. One of the views at
the top right is of the river, while crossing the concrete community bridge.
This beautiful log chalet was custom built in 2002, but shows like brand
new. Total square footage on the main level is 1120 sq.ft. finished, with
potential for another 1120 sq.ft. in the lower level. Throughout are exposed
pine, vaulted ceilings, and pine flooring is in all the main level rooms
except for bedrooms and baths. The interior walls are exposed log,
with drywall partitions between the rooms. The great-room is fabulous, with
glass allowing natural light to flow in, along with a stone backdrop
extending two stories, with a cozy woodstove, centered. The dining
area also features glass sliders that access the front deck, also allowing
plenty of natural light. The kitchen is fully equipped, and matches the home
perfectly with natural oak cabinets. The master-suite has a nice bath
attached, and a full, hall bath allows guests their own facilities.
This hall bath has a corner shower. The guest bedroom is very nicely
sized. A full, unfinished basement allows for future expansion. There
is plumbing installed to add a full bath, and there are laundry facilities
on sight (the washer & dryer conveys). This lower level offers level
walk-out, to the front. |
