3371 Vera Vista PathRockingham, VA 22801Price: $995,000

This was the model home that sold buyers on the rest of the community, and it still makes the same first impression. Hardwood runs through most of the main level. The kitchen was made for entertaining, including both a 9-foot center island and a full peninsula, granite counters, tile backsplash, gas range, double oven, and a large eat-in area that opens into the dining and living rooms as one continuous space. A main-level office with extensive built-ins handles work from home, and the laundry room between the garage and kitchen adds a built-in cubby area, cabinets, and a granite counter with sink. Upstairs, the owner's suite has a boxed ceiling, a large walk-in closet, and a bath with soaking tub, double vanity, and tiled shower with glass enclosure. Two bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath with quartz-topped double vanity; the fourth bedroom is en suite. A bonus room over the garage runs off its own stairway from the kitchen. The finished basement centers on a huge rec room with a granite-topped wet bar and extensive cabinetry, plus a full bath, two bonus rooms, and two storage areas. Storage is strong throughout the house. Outside: Hardie plank siding with stone paver accents, a covered front porch laid in stone pavers, and a paver patio with an outdoor fireplace and a low surrounding wall, all on a half-acre lot with mature landscaping. Parking handles a crowd: a 2-car garage, a driveway with room for roughly four more, and a community visitor lot next door. The home is still fully staged from its model years, and the complete furniture and decor package is available separately for $20,000 (directly from developer). HOA dues cover internet, trash pickup, and snow removal. The house sits just around the corner from the lake, community center, and pool, with walking trails, a fitness center, a playground, and a dog park in the community as well. Less than 5 miles from downtown Harrisonburg, about 3 from the nearest I-81 connector, and 11 from Massanutten Resort. Less than 2 miles from Sentara RMH.
