The 5 most expensive homes sold in the New River Valley 2011

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:

100 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.
2229 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, 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.
1205 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.
1216 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.
1230 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 basement, a gourmet kitchen, 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.
