This Magical & Majestic home adjoins the Omni Homestead Resort in Hot Springs, VA and is one-in-a-million. An opportunity of a lifetime with historical value and cost prohibitive to recreate; the former summer home of an original owner of the resort, what is the Homestead, a nationally recognized resort with endless amenities in your backyard. Upon entry you will be impressed with a stately two story foyer opening to a library on the left, gas log fireplace and bookcase disguised door leading to a water closet. The formal great room with a gas log fireplace is expansive, yet has a cozy feel and is wide open with impressive, custom columns leading to the formal dining room. Collectively, the great room and formal dining areas have six refurbished leaded glass french doors that lead to the covered veranda, hugging the northwest side of the home in direct sight of The Tower of the Homestead. The butler's pantry with built-ins connects the dining area to the kitchen with a gas range. The owner's suite on the upper level overlooks the resort and minimally divided by columns to a parlor/sitting area with fireplace, dressing room, built-in wardrobes, a walk-in shower and jetted tub. This level has three additional bedrooms, two of them connected via a jack-and-jill bathroom and a full bath with original hardware/claw-foot tub. Making your way up the back staircase to the utmost level is a sauna tucked away. The highest floor includes four additional bedrooms, a full bathroom and den/bonus room. The dry basement adds ample amount of storage and includes an original, before-our-time clothes dryer. The landscaping in the front is impeccable and low maintenance... Imagine yourself here during the Spring surrounded by hydrangeas, epimedium, lilacs, a blossoming cherry tree in the center and 100+ year old boxwoods towards the rear of the property. Plunge into the acclaimed healing waters at Warm Springs, in the words of Thomas Jefferson and many others, ski/snowboard down the slopes, take a walk on the many trails, swing a club at the Cascades or Old Course golf courses, attend a intimate concert at Garth Newel... this exclusive home is a DREAM with the possibility for revenue. It's not just a home, it's a lifestyle. Host and entertain with pride! Appointment required; please do not access the property without a private tour scheduled with your agent.
