Quiet - Great Eat In Kitchen-Woods, bike path

Address: 1849 B Merrimac Road near Prices Fork Road. Great Neighborhood! Stroubles Mill is across the street. Woods, stars, and wildlife are at your back door.

Availability: Resident's lease runs through the last week in July; however, it is possible the unit will be available much earlier in the summer. Please let us know your needs and we will ask if an earlier than Aug 1 move in date is possible. 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 us to get the website address as I am not permitted to put it here. Please e-mail us at office@FORESTs-EDGE.com.

Real Oak floors! Large eat-in kitchen with lots of counterspace. Late model stove, dishwasher, microwave and refrigerator (It is large!). Two walk-in closets (one is very large, the other is huge) with flexible shelves and rods. Plus there is a coat closet/pantry in the kitchen. Could be used for a desk, play area, or nursery, they are so big! All hardwood floors or nice vinyl. Living Room, kitchen, large master bedroom + second bedroom.

Hardwired Ethernet/TV/Telephone to all rooms, including kitchen. Comcast broadband cable runs to a router; so 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. 1849 B has views from all rooms looking West with trees to the back, one small house next door, and lawns and view over Stroubles Creek neighborhood to the front.

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. Close your bedroom door and you do not even hear the TV in your own apartment! 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.

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 this building and you likely will find it worth taking a look. Please call (540-961-0138) or e- mail 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. Some 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 be quiet so they do not disturb others or damage the apartment.

1849 B can have up to two residents due to the zoning regulations. Only a maximum of 12 people may reside on the 2.5 acres.

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, 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 (15-20 min) 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! We look forward to meeting you soon. 540-961-0138
