Seller is a licensed real estate agent in Virginia. Note from seller: "Everything we done, was with the future home owner in mind. Just a couple of examples: My son and I made sure to lay plastic at the driveway where people park and under the landscaping so grass didn't come through. We went the extra mile by putting rock instead of mulch down as landscaping. We put down thick decking boards instead of the thinner ones. Etc." $179,900 Active
