Located in Alderson's Glen Ray neighborhood, the home is nestled in a small, quiet community of a half-dozen well-kept river camps. It faces the river, with access via its rear driveway and parking in its 2-vehicle carport. Elevated to take advantage of the idyllic scenery, the main level includes a living room, a combined kitchen/dining room, a home office/study, 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, an enclosed mud room/laundry room, and a screened porch and open deck with expansive river views. In addition to plentiful basement storage, the heated lower level incorporates a third bathroom with a shower, handy for washing off after coming in from river activities.
The open plan kitchen features birch cabinetry, attractive laminate countertops with a double stainless-steel sink, and a matching island with seating for 2-3. Appliances include a Whirlpool side-by-side refrigerator, an Amana range with a glass cooktop, a wall-mounted GE microwave, and a Frigidaire dishwasher. The kitchen also includes what at first glance appears to be a woodstove, actually a propane stove that adds warmth and atmosphere. The adjacent rear porch doubles as a mud room/laundry room, with a Maytag washer and dryer.
The den has a built-in desk and shelves, and the same original hardwood flooring as the kitchen. Just beyond the study lies a feature guaranteed to be popular with residents and visitors alike: a riverfront screened porch, cooled by two ceiling fans. A classic, picture-perfect porch swing conveys with the property.
The spacious living room, as well as the primary bedroom suite, are in the home's newer addition, which has attractive hardwood flooring similar to the flooring in the original portion and recessed ceiling lights. French doors open from the living room to the recently refinished deck. This elevated deck offers an even more impressive bird's eye view of the river than the screened porch.
The primary bedroom suite incorporates a cherry vanity, sink and cabinet in the bedroom, an exceptionally roomy walk-in closet, and a bath with a shower-tub and tiled floor. The home's second bedroom and bath are off the hallway that leads from the original part of the structure to the newer part. This bedroom features a separate dressing area and two closets with shelving. The hallway bath has tile flooring, a shower and a linen closet.
The home enjoys pull-down access to a surprisingly large attic, with plenty of storage space.
The yard is level and lends itself well to gardening. It includes a handy storage shed for lawn and garden equipment.
While the neighborhood's handful of homes are generally used as vacation camps, this attractive, well-kept, comfortable home is suitable for year-round living if desired. In addition to the heat pump that provides whole-house heating and air conditioning, most rooms feature one or more ceiling fans. The bridge spanning the river, connecting Alderson's Greenbrier and Monroe County sides, is nearby, and shopping, services and entertainment in Lewisburg, Ronceverte and Fairlea are only 20 minutes away.
