154 SKYLINE FOREST DR, FRONT ROYAL,VA 22630

Some places are built for escape. Others are built for living. And every once in a while, you find a home that offers both.<br>
<br>
Set back off a long, tree-canopied driveway, this ranch-style home sits quietly on five flat, usable acres just minutes from town – but feels like it’s a world away. Out here, the air is clearer, the nights quieter, and the pace of life slower in all the right ways. This isn’t a weekend retreat. It’s the kind of place that makes you think: I could stay here for good.<br>
<br>
Step up to the full-length covered front porch, and you’re already imagining coffee in a rocking chair, listening to the breeze through the trees. Step inside, and the home greets you with warmth—not just from the wood-burning fireplace in the family room, but from the layout itself. Nearly 2,000 finished square feet on one level gives you space to spread out without feeling stretched. Three bedrooms and two and a half baths, all on the main floor. No stairs to climb. No square footage wasted.<br>
<br>
And then there’s the showstopper: a massive sunroom, wrapped in windows on three sides, framing mountain views so good they almost don’t look real. Whether you’re hosting, working, reading, or just sitting still, it’s the kind of room you won’t want to leave.<br>
<br>
The kitchen has been tastefully renovated, with modern finishes and newer appliances, and both full bathrooms were updated in 2025. The HVAC and water heater were replaced in 2022, and the entire home has been freshly painted – meaning the big stuff is already done, and done right.<br>
<br>
Even the behind-the-scenes features are thoughtful: Anderson windows, UV light air purifier, central vacuum, and a backup generator that conveys with the home—because peace of mind matters. Outside, you’ll find a large equipment shed, a chicken coop, and space that’s truly usable in every direction. No steep slopes. No rocky outcroppings. Just flat, open land ready for whatever you have in mind.<br>
<br>
And if you’re thinking long term, there’s a bonus waiting below: a 1,972 sq ft unfinished basement – clean, open, and full of potential. Finish it out and you double your living space. Keep it as-is, and enjoy the extra room for storage, hobbies, or a workshop.<br>
<br>
The setting? Ideal. Under 1.5 miles from the scenic Skyline Drive, and just 8 minutes to the conveniences of town. All paved roads. Easy access. Total privacy without the isolation.<br>
<br>
This isn’t just a house. It’s a lifestyle decision. One that trades noise for stillness, congestion for clarity, and stress for something much simpler. It’s the kind of place that’s ready the day you move in – but still leaves room for your own vision.<br>
<br>
If that speaks to you… come see it for yourself. Because there’s one thing photos and words can’t quite capture: what it feels like to stand on that land, take a deep breath, and realize – you’ve found home.
