Bungalow

The Butler House is a charming, classic, mid 20th century bungalow. Nestled in a very private lot, the house sits within walking distance to all the amenities on offer in Little Washington, while at the same time having the feeling of a quiet cozy country spot. With an expansive lawn and a view to the neighboring pastures and Blue Ridge Mountains, it is a rare chance to own a comfortable home in a very desirable and relaxed small town setting. Residence The mid-century bungalow has been well maintained through the years. While it retains many of its original touches, it has been repainted and brightened up for the new owners. In addition to the traditional three bedroom bungalow layout, there is a large family room with views of the lawns and a gas fireplace. A screened porch affords additional indoor/outdoor living space. The basement features a large rec room (with wood stove), and a large workshop area in addition to a second kitchen and other rooms. The basement has potential to function as a large apartment separate from the upper level. Grounds The generous 2 acre lot provides a lovely level lawn on all sides of the house. To the west is a large lawn with garden area, grape trellis, and old garden shed/studio. The lawn is the perfect place for large family gatherings or quiet gardening away from the rest of the town. While there is a wooded perimeter around the entire lot that affords privacy, there is an open area on the northwest corner which affords views of the Blue Ridge mountains and the Shenandoah National Park. Just beyond the property is access to the Inn at Little Washington’s garden perimeter trail. The entry drive along Skyline Lane is flanked by mature boxwood plantings that are over 100 years old. Telecom: Internet and TV options are available via comcast cable or satellite with Starlink. Cell service is available with T-Mobile and AT&T. Limited service is also available from Verizon.
