This stately colonial home is situated on 3.89 acres on desirable Apple Pie Ridge, in Frederick County, Va.  It is only 15 minutes from the Winchester Medical Center, in a rural area surrounded by farmland, apple orchards, and horse farms. This subdivision is called Glendobbin Ridge, a 16 lot rural subdivision with similarly sized homes on 2+ acre lots. A state maintained paved road, bordered in black-board fencing, bisects the subdivision, ending in a cul-de-sac.  This property is located on that cul-de-sac, hosting pretty much only local traffic. There are protective covenants for Glendobbin Ridge, but there are no HOA fees to pay.  The home was built in 2005, boasting over 6,000 ft. of finished living space, according to the appraiser's report. Let's talk about the exterior:  The home has a full brick front, and the brick extends around the entire apron of the home (exposed basement walls). The 40 x 8 front porch is brick paved, and outlined with white columns and railings. The rear of the home has a huge Trex deck, offering great privacy, and overlooking the huge rear yard.  The owners have spent a great deal of time and effort to rid the yard of underbrush and overgrowth, to create an area large enough to play soccer or football.  This backyard is definitely kid friendly, and includes a spacious treehouse and garden spot. A treed buffer separates this property from a large farm that is in a conservation easement (no houses can be constructed behind you).  The front and side yards are nicely landscaped, and there are concrete walkways, along with the long paved driveway leading to the two car garage. The 1st floor of the home has beautiful oak hardwood flooring, with the exception of the laundry area and baths, which has ceramic tile flooring.  From the main entrance hall, you can access both the formal living and dining rooms.  A soaring 2 story family-room is straight ahead. This family gathering area features a central gas fireplace, with high mantel, and centered between built-in cabinets and shelving. A cat-walk with oak banister from the second floor overlooks this family area, and there is a bay window that looks out over the rear deck.	The kitchen is massive, again with hardwood flooring, and tall cherry cabinetry.  Of course, the counters are granite, and there is a huge center island.  A double wall oven, microwave, side x side refrigerator, and dishwasher, all convey. A large "bump out" from the kitchen offers a large breakfast area. The laundry area is off the kitchen, with direct access to the attached garage.  Also on this main level, is the mastersuite.  This private area has the options you might expect; tray ceiling, french door access to rear deck, great bath area with walk-in closet, large whirlpool soaking tub, separate shower, and double bowl vanity. The main level of the home also accesses a half-bath. Upstairs, also with 9' ceilings, are four additional bedrooms, 2 have their own attached bathrooms, and two bedrooms have a "jack-and-jill" sharing bath. The upstairs, with the exception of the stairs and hall, is fully carpeted. All four bedrooms are quite spacious.  In the lower, basement level, are several family gathering areas, one of which features a kitchenette. This section of the lower level also gives walk-out access to the side yard. There is also another bedroom with attached full bath and walk-in closet, a half-bath, and large utility/storage area. In recapping, this home has potential for 6 bedrooms, 5 full baths, and 2 half-baths.  There is 3-zone heating/cooling, with propane gas being the main source for heat. The home also utilizes a well and septic system.  The septic has capacity for 8 occupants. Utilities are all underground. Current annual taxes are $2586.  This would make a fantastic family home, and is quite competitively priced at $670,000.  The MLS# is FV6816077, and the address is 329 Union View Lane, Winchester, Va. 22603                                 Directions to the property:  From Winchester, Rt.522N & the Rt.37 Bypass, make the 1st right onto Apple Pie Ridge Road.  Drive approx. 2 miles, and make a left onto Glendobbin Road. Drive 1 mile, make a right into Glendobbin Ridge on Union View. Follow to end, see the property on the left (Glaize real estate sign)
