329 S Main St, Amherst, VA 25421 listing details

Chinquapin is a charming turn of the century home in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Amherst. It offers large rooms with nine foot ceilings, hardwood floors throughout, and huge windows allowing sunlight to flood the interior. This gracious family home is perfectly suited for entertaining with its grand formal rooms or for cozier, more intimate affairs in its comfy den and library. In addition to its formal rooms, the main floor provides for a possible main floor bedroom, a country kitchen, an inviting sunroom, a family room, and an office. This sprawling property has a livable, warm feel to it and invites one and all to enjoy a sense of space not found in today's homes. Huge old boxwood's highlight the front exterior. There is also a studio/cottage-the original maid's quarters-that could become a mother-in-law's home, an art studio or a college student's pad. There is a garage in the rear.
