140 MARTIN ST Bowling Green, VA 22427

This is just a really cool house. It's not your typical rambler, it's considered Neo Modern. This home was lovingly built with special touches everywhere! The design of this property is unique as you can see when you pull up. A stone-paved driveway with mature landscaping greets you. Lots of parking and notice the sitting areas right away...it has a courtyard type of feel. Rather than the typical windows, there are sliding glass doors wrapping around the living room, much like one might have at a resort place in the mountains. Floor to ceiling light, almost. A wonderful way to bring the outside in AND open them up for fresh air or walk out to enjoy the yard and side courtyard type area without steps and narrow doors. Coming through the front door, you'll find a one-of-a-kind slate/flagstone entry wide enough to welcome many who may come to visit. Immediately find yourself with the huge living room to the right, and notice those large doors that make this space so inviting, light and relaxing. The brick fireplace is one like no other and is surely a focal point of this lovely room along with the handcrafted mantle made from a tree from THIS property. It's such a lovely room and has such awesome size, there's plenty of space for dining as well if one wishes. Moving into the kitchen, it's just delightful. The floors have been recently replaced with an eye-catching high gloss tile which makes the room just sparkle. Offset that with the original cherry cabinets handcrafted by a woodworker in Richmond. They have been lovingly cared for and are absolutely beautiful. Recent updates for this room include stainless flat top stove, dishwasher, and stainless French-style Refrigerator. Plenty of space for kitchen dining if you wish. Easy access from the kitchen to a very nice oversize garage for ease in getting items to and from the car. There's also a separate entrance from the garage to the back patio allowing the garage to be the buffer for foot traffic into the house when working outside. There is ample area in the attic above the garage that would be ideal for storage. Pull-down steps have been purchased and will convey with the house, they just need installation. Moving down the wider hall, there's a full bath on the right. The flooring in the bath is tile and it's very unique. Across from this bath is a nice size bedroom. Next to that is another bedroom at the end of the hall which almost feels like a primary bedroom. The primary bedroom, however, is on the right at the end of the hall. It has a nice walk-in closet, its own private entrance to the backyard patio. I can imagine some beautiful lights back there, comfy chairs, a fan, and some music...what a great evening that would be just relaxing to all of that in the privacy of this tree-lined backyard. AND, this bedroom has its own full bath with a SAUNA! It also has really cool tile...it feels very beachy. The whole house has a resort feel to it. The home has been lived in gently as it has been inhabited more like a second home/vacation type getaway rather than full-time living. Recent improvements (since about 2017) include the HVAC, Kitchen floor, appliances, and fresh interior paint. Convenient to I-95 and Rt 301 makes it ideal for those going to Fredericksburg, Richmond or Dahlgren. Restaurants and Shopping are within walking distance in this quaint town, which is Golf Cart Friendly I might add. Downtown Bowling Green is really changing. Wonderful food from Los Dos Amigos, Your Just Desserts, The Corner Store; The Heist is looking to open in the next couple of months with music, food, and spirits. The Saturday Farmers Market, Friday Music on the Green (free), Ice Cream from Gibsons Ice Cream Truck, Delish coffee and treats from the Mix House and shopping, arts, classes, specialty soaps at the Painted Horse. Come take in the town and snap this house up fast!
