This versatile property in the heart of Independence offers a rare blend of modern upgrades and timeless character suggesting endless potential. From top to bottom, the main house has been thoughtfully remodeled with respect for its original vintage charm. Fresh interior and exterior paint, stain, upgraded fixtures, fans, appliances, solid wood cabinetry, vanities, countertops, and flooring throughout create a turn-key ready inviting space. The plumbing and electrical have also been updated to accommodate modern appliances. Insulation in attic and in-ground stormwater drainage systems were newly installed. Both chimneys, the metal roof, gutter, the wood stove, and the oil heating system have been professionally serviced. Downstairs, the private-entry studio apartment has been completely gutted and rebuilt with moisture resistant, quality materials.

As a plus, it has its own driveway. In the detached garage building the office and workshop space invites further transformation - whether into a home business, art studio, storage loft, or even a fully separate two-story residence. The 0.55-acre lot is well-suited for self-sustaining gardens, play areas for children, and/or pets. The existing barn and shed await your personal touch to house animals or hobby farming. Located directly off the scenic Highway 21 in the Blue Ridge Mountains, this home enjoys a quiet,nature- surrounded setting - yet it's just five minutes to downtown, Independence and a short drive to Galax, Sparta, and the New River.
