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
