This adorable American-style bungalow, located in the heart of downtown Luray, is bursting with beauty and elegance.Owned by one family since 1939 when built by hand. The lumber from John and Ginny Williams, corner of East Main Street and North Deford Avenue was used to build this home. It was auctioned off and the structure torn down to create Hawksbill Bungalow. One of the main features of this sweet little home is without a doubt the towering Art Nouveau-style bow front window overlooking the front porch. This window is intricately trimmed in a herringbone pattern with a delicately carved tongue and groove. The glass is diamond cut with an Art Deco chandelier hanging overhead, and is surrounded by a cozy sitting bench perfect for your cat to lounge on all day in the sun. And top it all off, the Victorian-esque box sash windows come complete with their original weight pulls.
With two spacious bedrooms and one full bath, this home is the ideal place for a young couple beginning their lives together, or could be a great short-term rental or Airbnb option as well. Built in 1939, this bungalow still boasts its original hardwood floors which give it that extra charm as you move throughout it. A fresh coat of paint, new appliances in the kitchen alongside a gorgeous double porcelain farm sink, a newly remodeled bathroom complete with a tiled shower and French petite doors, and a newly installed private driveway with space for two-cars are just a few of the upgrades this home has to offer. Water and sewer services are provided by the town as well. There is also an ample backyard ideal for a large vegetable garden, barbecues with your friends and neighbors, or playing fetch with your dog. Spend your weekends walking on the Hawksbill trail, conveniently located two blocks from your front door, strolling downtown to shops and restaurants, or taking a short drive to enjoy all that the Shenandoah National Park has to offer. What more could you ask for?
