157 Woodland Drive sold quietly this summer in an off-market transaction that was just meant to be ✨

JENNY MITCHELL | HISTORIC STAUNTON VA REALTOR helped the sellers purchase in 2023 and when it was time for them to start their next chapter, Jenny mentioned to me that they may be listing soon. Luckily enough, my friends and clients had just reached out to me the week before, hoping to begin what they assumed would be a long-term search for the perfect Staunton property.

Cut to a few days later and we were touring Woodland Drive, all falling in love with its Mid-Century charm, warm natural light, serene hilltop setting, open acreage bordered by conservation land, and space to play outside in the pool or tennis courts.

So glad to be part of this special home’s next chapter and to have worked with Jenny and her clients (again!) as the baton was passed to new owners who will love and care for this beautiful old home in Staunton. Teamwork made the dream work on this - having a transaction of agents and clients who can communicate well and want what’s best for everyone makes such a difference.

It was a simple summer in the Valley focusing on the market, motherhood, and making our home a little bit better each day 🌞

Bloomscrolling Week 7 took me to in Free Union 🤍

Truly in awe of the design and balance of this place. Owner Katherine Kane has been working on the Waterperry property and its gardens for 30 years and the dedication and love poured into it shows.

Symmetrical lines and borders are balanced with whimsical touches that guide you through the acres of gardens, a greenhouse, pool house, past the carriage house, main home, and pond.

So glad to finally visit and can’t wait to come back in other seasons to see even more color and variety in this special place.

Tickets and reservations are available on website 🌸

One of my favorite homes I’ve shown recently in Staunton 💕

Built by TJ Collins as a prototype for the neighborhood, but ended up being one of one. So much character, color, and beautiful gardens surrounding it.

It wasn’t the right space for my clients but went pending after one weekend on the market. Neighbors to two of my other clients on Alleghany!

One of my favorite homes I toured last year is still available ❤️

As much old-home charm as it has, this beauty was built in 1970 using materials salvaged from a combination of older homes, likely from the 17th and 18th Centuries in Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Virginia.

Visiting this house in person, you feel the warmth and care that building something with this much character took - from carefully placed wide wooden floorboards, to historically accurate paint colors and design choices.
Plus very cool retro touches like the original stove!

I’d love to go back with you for a tour. Send me a message and we can coordinate!

P.S - I’m not the only fan of this special home, it was the cover story for a 1982 issue of ‘Colonial Homes Magazine! Scan from the cover on the last slide.

Comment GARDEN for the full guide to your inbox 🌸

This winter, I spent a lot of time at home. Almost too much. You might share in my desire to emerge from hibernation now that it’s spring.

Which is why I’ve created this guide to Gardens of Virginia! To keep track of the many beautiful examples of architecture and garden design that we are lucky enough to have right here in Virginia.

And to encourage myself (and maybe some of you too!) to actually visit these special places.

I hope you’ll join me in exploring the gardens of the Valley and beyond this season - may we all come home from our adventures inspired and encouraged by the beauty around us.

Tag along for my ‘bloomscrolling’ series as I feature one garden from the guide a week in Reels 🫶🏼

Oh and don’t miss and especially coming up April 18-25!

Loved touring this 70s wood chalet just outside of Waynesboro this week 🫶🏼

Lots of charm, lots of potential, and on an acre lot with a two car garage. Tucked away but just around the corner from Target, groceries, and up the road from Coyner Springs park.

A short month full of many good things like playing tourist while family is visiting, my fourth closing since becoming a mom, hosting a dinner for the first time after rearranging our house, getting clients ready for the spring market, and finding out that baby socks are even more entertaining at knee height ❤️

I wrote more in depth about this month in work and life in the Valley in my February newsletter, which is out to subscribers now 💌
