The Most Expensive Home Sales in the New River Valley

Last week I wrote about the least expensive home sales in the New River Valley, and the post got so many views I thought that maybe people might be interested in the most expensive home sales, as well.  Admit it – you’re at least a little curious, right?  Here are the five most expensive homes that have sold in Blacksburg, Christiansburg or Radford YTD in 2011:

  • Home for sale on Rock Road, Radford VA100 Rock Road, Radford – If you’ve been wondering what $560000 will get you in Radford, then today’s your lucky day!  How about a brick home with 4369 square feet on 9 acres, with a four-car garage?  That’s a good place to start, and it had an additional 2500 square feet in the basement ready to be finished off as well.  Originally listed for $825000 in 2007, it was put on and off the market a few times until this year, when it came on at $569000 and sold in 90 days for $560000.  Listed by McCraw Real Estate, and sold by Long & Foster Real Estate.
  • Wyatt Farm Home for sale, Blacksburg2229 Birch Leaf Lane, Blacksburg – Located in Blacksburg’s Wyatt Farm neighborhood, this house wasn’t on the market long (53 days).  Built in 2005 and sitting on nearly 1/2 acre, the home had 3663 square feet overlooking a community pond.  5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, with an unfinished basement of 1471 square feet, and a 600 square foot in-law suite. It was listed for $612000 and sold for $565000.  A quick sale, particularly in the winter when the real estate market in the New River Valley is typically slow.  Listed by RE/Max 1st Realty, and sold by Coldwell Banker Townside.
  • Deercroft home for sale, Blacksburg1205 Falcon Ridge Road, Blacksburg – Located in Deercroft, a coveted wooded neighborhood in Blacksburg overlooking Ellett Valley, this 4343 square foot home had 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths on 3 acres. While the home didn’t have a view the owners had made the most of the wooded location, installing professional landscaping and a fire pit, and utilizing the wooded privacy so that it felt like it was really a private setting.  Originally listed for $675000, it took more about eight months and a few price drops to close, but it sold for $570000.  Listed by McCraw Real Estate, and sold by Coldwell Banker Townside.
  • new construction home in Blacksburg, VA1216 Brockton Street, Blacksburg – While this new construction home would have made the top five list based on it’s square footage, it tops at at the second-most expensive New River Valley home sale because of the upgrades done to it.  Custom-built, it boasted more than 6000 finished square feet, at least 4 bedrooms, 5.5 baths, and a brick exterior.  Originally listed for $585000, the upgrades eventually pushed the closing price to $609189.  Quite a nice chunk of change.  Listed and sold by Long & Foster Real Estate.
  • Home for sale in The Village at Toms Creek, Blacksburg1230 Redbud Road, Blacksburg – and the most expensive home sale in the New River Valley YTD goes to this home, built by Progress Street Builders in 2004 and used as their model home for a while.  Listed as having 4830 square feet, 6 bedrooms and 4.5 baths, it boasted a home theatre in the Home Theatre Room in Blacksburg, VAbasement, a gourmet kitchen design from www.exclusivkitchens.com.au/kitchen-designer-showrooms-brisbane, and gorgeous mountain views of Gap Mountain.  Plenty of room for entertaining, with a butler’s pantry and large rooms for gathering.  Originally listed for $659900, it sold for $660000, and never went on the market.  Now isn’t that nice?  And for fun, I’ve included a picture of the home
  • theatre, as well.  Listed by Shirley Sellers Inc., and sold by RE/Max Valley.
