STAUNTON, VA 24401

Welcome to Bellefonte, a historic home with modern amenities, perfectly located between the downtown arts and restaurant district, and easy access to two interstates. Residential zoning, with B1-C overlay and acreage, offers your choice of private retreat, home-based business, or development potential. Built on the original 1790 settlement, the house dates to 1834 with expansions and upgrades in the 1940s and ?70s. Over 4,500 sq ft of timeless elegance includes: high ceilings, hardwood floors, original wood-burning fireplaces in the living/dining rooms, a custom-built bar in the great room, and a kitchen with pantry and adjoining greenhouse. The main-level owner?s suite, with screened porch, connects discreetly to a spacious laundry, while two additional en-suite bedrooms upstairs, plus three more bedrooms on the third floor, lend themselves beautifully to a boutique B&B configuration under existing zoning. Savor pastoral views from any of four gracious porches, or retreat to the private rear walled courtyard. A 1,590 sq ft detached studio with loft and half bath presents endless possibilities for a home office, guest suite, or income-producing venture. Bellefonte is history, charm, and potential, perfectly located and preserved.
