Additional features include a partially accessible basement with both interior and exterior access, a machine shed with equipment storage, a separate kayak building with 8 kayaks that convey, and unique land elements such as a pond, an old quarry (source of bluestone used in the Blue Ridge Parkway), and the stone foundation of a former bank barn—offering potential for a future garden or outdoor entertaining space.
