Ask a questionAbout Mary Crouse
We live in Richmond area and have three children, two have moved out and one is left in the nest with us. We work hard and look forward to weekends away with family. We enjoy activities such as hiking & fishing; photography; antiquing and getting into furniture restoration; and games such as cornhole, air hockey, billiards, & basketball; winery tours, and learning about local/regional history.
Mary Crouse purchased this house in 2017
Why Mary Crouse chose Historic Centertown Bedford
We have visited the Bedford area many times as a couple and family before because it is in the middle of all the activities we love to do (Smith Mountain Lake, Peaks of Otter, Blue Ridge Pkwy driving, antiquing, fishing, horseback riding, photography, and just disconnecting so we can relax and play games together). We bought this house as our retirement home, where we plan to share many memories with our own children/grandchildren in the future. For now, though, it is our vacation home and we hope it can bring you as much joy and fun memories as it brings our family.
What makes this house unique
This house drew us in with the light pouring in through the many windows and filling the spacious great room and dining area, made more spacious by the cathedral ceilings. Our son loved the rainbows cast off by the specialty windows up at the top of the cathedral ceilings. We walked through the front door and looked through to the back of the house, where the pool area was gorgeous. Our aging joints loved the one-story aspect of the house and we appreciated that the set up would provide our children/grandchildren with some privacy when they visited. The house is situated on 15 acres, which provides us with the secluded feeling of getting away from it all and area to roam, yet we are only 4 miles from the 24 hour Walmart supercenter if we need anything.
