About this home.

This completely remodeled brick ranch at 311 Chinquapin Avenue in Rural Retreat, VA offers comfortable one level living with a smart, efficient layout. Featuring 2 bedrooms and 1 expanded bath (created by incorporating the former third bedroom), the home includes a convenient washer/dryer hookup, a welcoming living room, and a bright kitchen outfitted with all 5 year old stainless steel appliances. You'll appreciate the character of the original hardwood floors throughout, complemented by new tile in the kitchen and bath, plus interior access to a full unfinished basement ideal for storage, hobbies, or future finished space. Outside, enjoy a level corner lot with excellent curb appeal, highlighted by a 5 year old metal roof and windows, freshly painted shutters, and a really nice carport with new concrete and sturdy three beam supports. The home is heated by an oil furnace with backup wood stove in the basement. It has one window A/C unit in the kitchen. This 960 sq. ft. ranch floor plan makes it easy to heat and cool plus it would be straightforward to add a heat pump down the road. Conveniently located close to downtown Rural Retreat, you're near everyday essentials like local grocery options, restaurants and a deli, the post office, and nearby medical services, as well as fire and rescue all within about 2 miles. For recreation, Rural Retreat Lake Campground and pool are just a short drive away (about 4 miles), and the area also offers easy access to outdoor and day trip destinations throughout Southwest Virginia, including nearby lakes, hiking, and scenic mountain drives.
