A Century-Old Farmhouse in Patrick County
The house was built in 1920 and still carries the shape of a classic farmhouse — a full front porch, a metal roof, and vinyl siding over the original frame. It’s listed as a partial renovation, meaning some of the work is already finished while other updates are left for the next owner to tackle.
- Built in 1920
- 1,547 square feet
- 3 bedrooms, 1 full bath and 1 half bath
- Metal roof
- Vinyl siding
Curb Appeal and the Front Porch
A full-width front porch runs the length of the house, set above a wide, sloping lawn. The listing describes a “gorgeous lawn” out front, with the wooded part of the nearly three-acre lot starting behind the house.

- Gorgeous front lawn, per the listing

Partial Renovation Already Done
The seller has already handled several of the bigger repairs: a metal roof, replacement windows, remodeled bathrooms, and new plumbing. The listing invites a buyer to “finish the renovation and put your own touches on this classic farmhouse to make it yours,” so there’s still work left, but the structural and system-level items are a head start.
- Metal roof
- Replacement windows
- Remodeled bathrooms
- New plumbing
Inside the Farmhouse
The home has 1,547 square feet of living space across three bedrooms, with one full bathroom and one half bathroom. Flooring throughout is a mix of original wood, carpet, and vinyl, and the foundation is a crawl space rather than a basement.

Water and Septic
The property is on a septic tank system, and the water source is a spring rather than a municipal connection — both common for a rural farmhouse on acreage like this one.

- Spring water source
The Land: Nearly Three Acres and a Creek
