Address: 1849 C Merrimac Road near Prices Fork Road. Great Neighborhood! Stroubles Mill is across the street. Woods, stars, and wildlife are at your back door. Available in May, 2010 please ask. Fairly Flexible move-in date. This unit is in a wonderful location. We have lots of pictures and the floor plans posted on our website, but you need to call or e-mail (office@FORESTs-EDGE.com) us to get the website address as I am not permitted to put it here. Real Oak floors! Large eat-in kitchen with lots of counterspace. Two walk-in closets with flexible shelves and rods. Could be used for a desk, play area, or nursery, they are so big! All hardwood floors or nice vinyl. Versatile floor plan. Hardwired Ethernet/TV/Telephone to all rooms. Comcast broadband cable runs to a router; so you are not charged for each connection separately! Our 2.5 acre property has lots of parking for you, your neighbors and everyone's visitors! There is a small house. The four unit apartment building has two units per floor on the upper two floors with a laundry room and landlord’s storage on the bottom floor. There is plenty of room to store bicycles, canoes, and other outdoor equipment. 1849 C has views from all rooms looking East with trees to the back, one small house next door, and lawns and view over Stroubles Creek neighborhood to the front. On a hillside; so tough for anyone to look in! All the walls in the building were opened during renovation; so all plumbing and electrical is in very good to excellent (brand-new) condition. All renovations have been done with permits and government inspectors. We worked hard to make all our units as if our own children will be living in them. The sound proofing is amazing, between units and within the unit as well. It is very rare to hear a neighbor or even your roommate. The views are of trees, lawns and mountains. Rarely will you hear a car door slam. More likely you will be awakened by the wildlife in the acres of woods. Close the door to your bedroom and you will not hear most sounds in the rest of your apartment. Inside the unit there are ceiling fans in every room and zone heating; so the electric bills can be kept incredibly low with little effort. There are many pluses to the rental units offered at Forests Edge. You likely will find it worth taking a look. Each floorplan is different; so please check out our website as well. Please call (540-961-0138) or e-mail office@FORESTs-EDGE.com for an appointment. We only own 9 rental units and manage them ourselves. You will not be a "number" to us. Our residents frequently renew because they like how well we maintain our units and how quickly we respond when they contact us. We try hard to make our residences nice enough that our residents renew, and most do. Most stay with us for all the years they are renting in Blacksburg! We love animals, but in our rental units they must be in cages or aquaria and not be heard outside the unit, even with the windows open. This way they do not disturb other residents or damage the apartment. 1849 C can have up to two residents due to the zoning regulations. Only a maximum of 12 people may reside on the 2.5 acres (4 in the house plus 2 in each of the units in the four-unit apt building). There is much more off-street parking than would be used if we had 12 residents and each one had a car. Usually the buildings are leased and we only have around 9 or 10 residents with only around 7 cars total. So your friends would be able to find a space to park,if you lived at Forests Edge. No hangtags or parking stickers! The laundry room with nice front- loading washer and dryer. No need for coins though and you can safely leave your detergent on the shelf. There is a reasonable monthly charge (less than the cost to run them), if you would like to use the on-site laundry. This is a non-smoking building. Also, there is no smoking on the balconies or near the building where the smoke can enter through open windows. Since we own the building, we are able to offer smoke free air when you relax on the large balconies watching the deer and birds or enjoying the night sky. The building is located at the edge of Hethwood and behind it is nothing but hills and farms. It gets spectacularly dark when the motion-sensor security lights are not tripped on. The stars and the moon seem to be much closer here than in the rest of Blacksburg because they appear so bright! The bike path to VT and the rest of Blacksburg is right across the street. Radford and Christiansburg (as well as Blacksburg) are very easy to access from this location. The hospital is just down the road. Please do check Forests Edge website for a map. The small apartment building is easy to find by taking Prices Fork Road and turning onto Merrimac Road. Enjoy the expansive view over the beautiful Wall Farm, rather than dealing with traffic, stop signs and lights as your friends do when they go home. It is only one and a third miles to the three story white building. You can pull right into the large, usually mostly empty parking area. It is actually quicker to get here than to most places that seem "closer" to campus. (Try it!) Plus it is soooooo nice and peacefully quiet. It's pretty quick by bicycle (bike path) to most of VT and Blacksburg. The large homes on Tall Oaks Drive are right across the street (the back of Hethwood). Blacksburg Transit bus stop is a few blocks up Tall Oaks Drive. PLEASE ASK WHETHER WE HAVE ANYTHING ELSE AVAILABLE. ALL OF OUR UNITS ARE VERY QUIET & HAVE LOTS OF PARKING! Please come by! See you soon, I hope. 540-961-0138

Immaculately redone spacious 3 bedroom condominium. Ceramic floors everywhere, except bedrooms. 11 foot high ceilings. 52 inch ceiling fans in all rooms. Very quiet. Ample parking. Patio opens out to lawns and VT sheep farm; so able to enter easily without climbing any steps. Blacksburg Transit. Bike route. Water/sewer/trash included. CAT-5 computer cabling to all rooms. Two full baths; one has two sinks. Great closets. Heat pump. No smoking! Most species of pets permitted; except, no uncaged or loud pets. Many photos, maps, plus floorplans of our units on our website. We even have aerial photos! Please call for that website address (Hint: Google our company name Forests Edge) as we are not permitted to post it here. 540-961-0138.... Thank you very much for considering renting one of our 9 units. Since we are not a big company just, literally, a "Mom and Pop," for the last 19 years we have tried very hard to personalize our service to all our residents. Apparently, we must do OK because our residents tend to renew year after year until they move out of town, buy a home, or need a type of place we can not offer.

Great townhouse behind the VT stadium. Two floors with 1/2 bath, living, dining, and kitchen on the first floor. Four bedrooms and 2 baths on the second level. Parking in front of duplex. Available for the 2006 academic year.
Available: Wait List

This unit is in a wonderful quiet, scenic Blacksburg location. Convenient to bike route to VT plus very easy access to roads to Radford and Christiansburg. Lots of pictures posted on our website, but you need to call us to get the website address as we are not permitted to put it here. (I noticed a lot of places only have posted exterior images. We are proud that our units are clean inside and out; so there are lots of pictures!) We offer discounts on multi-year leases. This unit will be available by August 1st, but may be available earlier. Please ask. Our 2.5 acre property has lots of parking for you, your neighbors and everyone's visitors! Maximum of two people in this unit. There is a small house and a four unit apartment building (2 units/floor). Maximum of 12 people on the 2 1/2 acres. 1849 D is on the top level and has views from all rooms most looking west to the mountain sunsets. During recent renovations all the walls were opened to replace plumbing, and electrical wiring and to install fireproofing and lots of sound dampening insulation. The sound proofing is amazing, between units and within the unit as well. It is very rare to hear a neighbor. Computer (CAT-5), Cable TV and telephone jacks in virtually every room. The views are of trees, lawns and mountains. Rarely will you hear a car door slam. More likely you will be awakened by the wildlife in the acres of woods.

This wonderful, bright cheery home will be shiny clean to welcome you as you move in. It is easy to schedule tours whenever we can match schedules. Day, evening or weekend is fine. Our lengthy descriptions should give you a good "feel" for this well-cared for home. The detailed description is definitely appreciated by people at a distance who may have to make a decision without getting to spend much time in the home or even being able to come to Blacksburg to do a tour at all. This home is very nice, very comfortable, homey, clean and bright. When gutted recently for total renovation, we insisted the charm and personality be maintained so it feels like a home, not a bunch of square boxy rooms. Very efficient use is made of space! If there is a nook, there is a shelf or closet. Most shelving is adjustable. The house is a lot “bigger” than it appears from outside. There are lots of flexible closets and no wasted square footage in hallways. Within the walls is everything from CAT-5 ethernet/TV/phone cabling to all rooms, to all new wiring, all new plumbing, all new heating ducts, and lots of insulation and soundproofing (even between rooms and floors)! It is tough to hear a TV or computer from one room to another. Parents please note that the soundproofing muffles the sounds of a temper tantrum as well as a teenager's music. Neighbors are quiet (Sometimes, however, the wild birds in the woods do get pretty rowdy). You can plant stuff in the gardens, but be prepared for the deer to eat it. If you are looking to live in a convenient, quiet, peaceful neighborhood, surrounded by Nature, then you will likely enjoy living here. If you’re looking for a place to party, please do not consider renting this home. We try to rent only to people with a good record of having taken good care of previous residences. Beautiful location: Located on 2.5 acres, shared only with 8 other residents in a similarly maintained and quiet 4-unit apartment building next door. You'll be living across the street from the end of Tall Oaks Drive/Stroubles Mill, Hethwood in Blacksburg. Bike/walking path to Kipps Elementary, Blacksburg Middle School, grocery store, VT, Corporate Research Center, and VCOM. Hospital is just 5-8 minutes down the road. 11 minute drive to CRC/VCOM. All this plus beautiful rural Virginia Countryside just outside your back door! Square Miles of woods and fields behind. Mountain sunsets daily! People renew year after year at Forests Edge because the properties are well-maintained, very quiet and there is lots of parking. Pictures and maps on our website: Please contact us for the website, since we are not allowed to list it here. (Hint: The house is located at Forests Edge which can be Googled.) It is faster to get home here than in much of Blacksburg because there's little traffic and no stop signs! EZ to: Blacksburg, Radford, Christiansburg, The Malls. Corporate Research Center, Hospital, VCOM, etc. Avoid most VT traffic to I-81 and Mall. Walking/running/bike path across street (Hethwood)...goes right to VT campus. (If you bike quickly only 15-20 minutes door to your door on campus.) Great off-street parking. Para-transit will come to the door. 3-4 blocks to BT bus. Original real oak floors, real wood paneling, all original solid wood interior doors, nooks and crannies, etc. have been kept. Plaster walls are beautiful. The upstairs full-bath was added during renovation. Downstairs bath was modified to be universally accessible without looking like it is. Incredible storage and wall heaters in both bathrooms! Large Ceiling fans (with lights) are in every room. There is also a whole house fan. New double-paned, low-E windows have full screens, not just 1/2 screens, so it's possible to ventilate rooms well even when raining. 3 bedrooms have flexible closets. 4th BR has no closet; yet pocket door makes it a convenient extension of other bedroom on main level. There is plenty of storage in the hall + bath next door to 4th bedroom. 4th bedroom makes a terrific office, playroom, hobby room, or den, especially since it has an additional heater to zone heat that room. The 2 large bedrooms upstairs have great views through over-sized windows. One faces East, the other West. Mini-blinds on every window, except East facing upstairs window where faux wood blinds really block the light, if you choose to hide from the great view of the morning sunrise. The comfortably-sized EAT-IN KITCHEN even has a closet under the steps with a light so you can sort through your over-sized pots, bowls, wedding gifts, etc. (or a child could play in this “secret” hide-away). Stove, refrigerator (brand new Fall 2007), microwave, dishwasher, ample cabinets and counterspace, windows on two walls facing woods and fields, plus exhaust fan in kitchen. Lots of built-in and/or flexible shelving/storage throughout the house. County Water & septic included. Well for watering gardens. INCLUDED: Mowing is done for you so you can lounge outside and enjoy the peace and quiet rather than pushing the mower. INCLUDED: Use of very convenient (really!) laundry (no coins!) Most people do not think about how much it costs to heat water for laundry and to run a dryer. Likely you will save around $100 per month in laundry costs. Also, the heat and humidity from the dryer as well as the dryer lint will not be in your home! Really nice large-capacity Bosch front-loader washer and a Whirlpool dryer in the very, clean convenient laundry area. The front loader is so efficient, the dryer and washer finish in about the same time. Shelves provided to store your detergent. This home will be extremely clean on move-in so please trust the pictures. The home is painted with Benjamin Moore and Glidden paints. Most of the flooring is original oak flooring with very good quality vinyl flooring in the kitchen, hallways and bathrooms. This use of quality materials makes it easy to keep the home clean. Pet allergen free since renovation. No uncaged pets permitted. (No residual smell of other people's cats or dogs.) Exotic pets in cages are generally OK with landlord. No outdoor pets - this helps to keep the area quiet and encourages wildlife. No smoking permitted inside since renovation! No smoking please, we renovated this home to make it bright, removing lots of smoke haze from walls and ceilings. New ductwork should have no smoke allergen residue. Maximum 4 people since it has a septic system sized for four people. Children use at least as much water as adults. Septic systems are sized based upon the amount of water usage they can handle. The ground floor is all but ADA compliant/universally accessible. A young resident who broke his leg was grateful there were no thresholds on the main level where his bedroom was; the downstairs bathroom was easy with crutches; and the heater in the level back path kept it ice free so he could benefit from the traction provided by the pretty aggregate concrete path. BT Paratransit will pick up at the door, if you can not walk the several blocks to the bus stop. The home was renovated to make it pretty comfortable all summer long, without the huge cost of running AC. The fans and insulation, when used as designed, really do a great job of keeping the cost of keeping the home comfortable all year round. With a little effort (opening windows at night and closing in the morning) you can save much money all summer long. The landlord will provide a room AC unit which vents to the outside, if you decide you need it. This system does not block the view as a window AC would. New ducting and oil furnace installed 3 years ago. Wall heaters in both full baths and fourth bedroom (office/playroom/den/hobby area) so you can turn down the heat (new oil furnace) elsewhere and still keep these rooms very warm. Insulation between floors and rooms muffles sound as well as contributes to the energy-saving features of this home. We only have this one house, but we have 8 other similarly located, maintained, and upgraded condos and apartments. Please ask! Please tell other people. In recent years our residents have all renewed unless they were moving out of town, purchasing a home, or significantly changing their roommate situations. Thank you for considering renting one of our properties. Please call for the website showing the properties we have, some of which may be available soon. Available Immediately. Please call us at 540-961-0138. E-mail is fine too! Please be sure to ask us for our website so you can see more pictures. We are not allowed to post our web URL here. There are around 30 pictures on our website!
