Luxury craftsman home offers privacy in Warrenton
Located just a few minutes from the Town of Warrenton, this four-bedroom, three-and-a-halfbathroom, three-car garage brick home is situated on almost 13 park-like private acres. This is truly a custom home with no expense spared in detail and craftmanship and more than 4,500 square feet on the main level.
Upon entry, you will see the expansive entertaining area to include foyer, formal living and dining rooms and butler’s pantry with bar. Continue onward and you’ll enter the gathering space, with gourmet eat-in kitchen complete with commercial grade appliances and spacious great room with gas fireplace.
Just down the hall, there is a laundry room with utility sink and huge sunroom, which the current
owners have used as an exercise room. This space would also make a great studio or another place for the family to gather. On the other side of the sunroom is interior entry to the three-car garage. The guest bedrooms each have their own private bathroom and lots of closet space.
On the opposite side of the home you will find the office/fourth bedroom with beautiful builtin cabinetry, coffered ceilings and walk-in closet. The master bedroom is massive – room for a king size bed, sitting area and gas fireplace. It will be hard to fill the master bedroom closet, which also has built-in cabinets and shelving. Continue down the hall and you’ll enjoy the luxury master bathroom with double vanities, soaking tub, heated towel bars and shower with multiple shower heads. You will feel like you are on vacation every day.
There are four sets of French doors leading from the interior of the home to the rear wraparound porch, for outdoor entertaining or just to relax and enjoy the privacy. Back inside, don’t forget to check out the walk-out basement. There is room to expand with a rough-in for a fourth full bathroom. For more information, please contact Becky Miller with Piedmont Fine Properties at 540-347-5277.

Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day early with performance by Southern Academy of Dance on March 4
Thanks to everyone who said they missed my column last week. The newspaper ran out of space and regrettably several articles and columns didn’t make publication.
I hope those who enjoy music at Gloria’s (92 Main St.) went this past Saturday.

Also, I hope interested shoppers went to Gordmans grand opening. Gordmans department store, known for brand names at low prices, is in the former Peebles location. Not only can the shopper find good buys for all ages, but customers can utilize the store’s Amazon counter by having their Amazon orders delivered to the special in-house section for fast and secure pick-up of packages.

vest (104 Main St.) won the judges’ vote in the BLT contest pitting its sandwich against Ellie’s BLT (70 Main St.). Ellie’s won the popular vote by two to one. In my opinion, having eaten both BLTs, they are both winners. Great BLTs all around! You can’t miss choosing either—or both. Begin the celebration of St. Patrick’s Day with viewing the performance of talented dancers from the Southern Academy of Irish Dance. The local group will perform at the John Barton Payne Building (2 Courthouse Square) on Wednesday, March 4, from 4 to 5 p.m. The event is free and there is no registration.
It’s time to pull out those shoe boxes full of 2019 receipts and get ready for the IRS tax deadline on Wednesday, April 15. According to IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig, “The IRS encourages everyone to consider filing electronically and choosing direct deposit. It’s fast, accurate and the best way to get your refund as quickly as possible.” The IRS states that taxpayers can get free help preparing and filing taxes through “IRS Free File.” There is also tax help available 24 hours a day on IRS.gov.

My apologies for missing last week’s column. I was on a cruise and the internet was not reliable at all. Had a wonderful time aboard the Carnival Pride where we visited Princess Cays, Nassau and Freeport.
I received some sad news when I returned. Carolyn Roach (wife of Pastor Ron Roach of Grove Baptist Church) had passed away after a battle with pancreatic cancer. She was a lovely lady who served the Lord faithfully and will be missed by many in the community. Condolences to all of her friends and family left behind.

Don’t forget to spring forward an hour on Sunday, March 8. We have been blessed this year with a very mild winter, however growing upmy grandmother would always tell me we need really cold weather to kill the germs. I totally agree with this. The flu bug has afflicted so many this year and the prediction is for a high allergy season as we transition into spring.

The Orlean community was saddened on Thursday after learning of the death of the Thompson family in a house fire at their home on Dulins Ford Road near the village. The career staff and our own volunteers responded quickly with additional help from neighboring fire departments plus the canteen from The Bridge Church who provided food and other support during that long, cold night. We offer condolences to the Thompson family members and friends. Richard and “Niki” Thompson were well known for their work with the Fauquier Community Theatre and Fresta Valley School. ‘Stole Stitchers’ needed to help military chaplains

For three days, there was no word. After the third night away from home, the little fellow was located alive by neighbor, Amy Oxford Mishey, and a friend.The photos posted on social media showed a
