OUR TRANSACTION
After a home search that hit many a bump in the road, my clients kept their eyes open, heads high and ended up exactly where they are supposed to be. So happy for them to start their next chapter in the loveliest home, right across the way from Gypsy Hill park, and to celebrate their move watching the 4th of July fireworks from their covered front porch.
Here’s what my clients were looking for:
Some historic charm, with room for improvements to put their personal touches on the property
Walkability to downtown or the park
At least 2 bed, 2 bath OR 2 bed, 1 bath with an easy bathroom addition
Up to $390k
I am happy to say that we checked all of those boxes! They found a 1920s bungalow that has been lovingly maintained, so they can focus on making the cosmetic updates they want to make the home feel like their own. Gypsy Hill park is practically their backyard, and they can easily walk downtown for dinner or a drink. Their offer was accepted in a multiple offer situation, for *barely* over list price, and they already have equity in the property.
Thank you to the wonderful team that got us here, Steve Sutton for a thorough inspection (as always!), Sommer and Erin with Movement Mortgage for a seamless lending process, and Karen at Nest for being so lovely to work with on the other side.
After a tough search and a few changes of plan, hard work and a great team got us to the finish line!
Congratulations, all!

THE AREA
722 Alleghany Ave is located in the Lakeview Addition neighborhood in Staunton.
I always walk away from transactions grateful to have played a part in such a big life decision for my clients, but 722 Alleghany Ave was particularly special knowing my clients and friends ended up in such a charming, peaceful corner of Staunton.
Located just behind Gypsy Hill park and walking distance to downtown, Lakeview Addition has a perfect blend of all of the best parts of Staunton - in style and location. Homes in this neighborhood consist of a mix of 1920s built bungalows to 1960s brick homes with prices currently ranging from the mid 300s to high 400s
I am so excited for my clients to be able to stroll into Gypsy Hill on sunny summer evenings to listen to Wednesday night bluegrass or wander into downtown for dinner and a much deserved margarita for a July move at Gloria’s Pupuseria.
In the meantime, enjoying the 4th of July fireworks from their front porch is a pretty special post- closing celebration ❤️
