Discover Bellswood Farmhouse, a beautifully updated country property that blends the character of a historic Virginia farmhouse with modern comforts, generous outdoor living spaces, and an exceptional detached workshop. Dating to approximately 1890, this distinctive home offers 2,344 square feet of finished living space, three bedrooms, and two full bathrooms. The thoughtfully expanded layout features an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area ideal for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen includes granite countertops, solid wood cabinetry, convenient pantry storage, an island with seating, and stainless appliances. The main-floor primary suite offers a walk-in closet, double vanity, and walk-in shower. A second bedroom and full bathroom are also located on the main level, with a third bedroom upstairs. One of the home's standout interior features is its fireplace wall. A remote-controlled propane fireplace insert, installed in 2024, is set within white-painted brick and framed by floor-to-ceiling white built-in bookshelves. Continuous crown molding and a distinctive stained live-edge hickory mantel create a unified architectural centerpiece. The fireplace also provides substantial supplemental warmth to the main living area. Recent improvements include a Bosch whole-house heat pump, new vinyl siding, updated appliances, and a 26 kW Generac automatic standby generator that serves both the farmhouse and workshop. Permanent programmable exterior roofline and porch lighting adds another distinctive touch. Outside, enjoy a spacious covered wraparound front porch, a rear deck measuring approximately 45 by 13 feet, and two 10-by-12-foot hardtop gazebos with mosquito screening and privacy curtains. A landscaped wood-burning firepit area offers another place to relax and gather with friends. For automotive enthusiasts, hobbyists, or those seeking extensive workspace, the detached steel workshop is a rare highlight.
