About Frederick County, VA

I just had to share these photos I took of Dave Rushton of Able Building Inspection on the roof of a clients house earlier this summer.

Yesterday, he was on the roof of a home while Hannah was dumping rain on the Shenandoah Valley. The home inspection lasted from 9:30 am - 2:45 pm. It's truly a blessing to work with a licensed professional I can trust.

Many buyers are seeking more house for their money. It does however involve a longer commute if you have to drive toward D.C. New homes here are large and well appointed. You can also find nice more affordable homes in the well established sections of the county.

There are many homes to choose from! Sellers are understanding of the 'new' market conditions & are ready to sell. We are seeing an increase in viewings and contracts!

It's still very much a buyer's market in Frederick County/Winchester area. The prices in some areas have fallen because of the buyers playing hardball with the sellers and there is a lot of inventory for a potential purchaser to choose from.

Today's buyers are looking for homes that are ready to move into where they would have minimal work to do as far as repairs are concerned. Houses that have been upgraded are guaranteed to sell faster than those without upgrades. For example: Granite, stainless steel, freshly painted and hardwoods are the words the buyers want to hear.

It takes a strong realtor to negotiate well on behalf of a seller to get a good price for their home. In this market it is very important to market each home to their fullest potential.

In 2008, I have been selling my listings faster than most. I am looking for new clients to benefit from my high technology and strong customer service levels.

Relocating to Winchester, VA? Beyond Real Estate – Windrow Antiques, Home & Garden!

Nestled on Boscawen Street, just a stone’s throw away (not recommended) from City Hall, you’ll find a wealth of choice for decorating your home, vacation home, bed & breakfast or even place of business. Earlier this month, I made a visit to Olde Town Winchester to obtain photos for my Relocation Package. With some spare time on my hands, I rewarded myself with a visit to Windrow, an antique, home & garden boutique. My intention wasn’t to blog, but to enjoy Windrow without the assistance of my 6 year old octopus.

HOWEVER, I soon became enchanted with the freshness & uniqueness of the store and with the owner Cheryl DeHaven Johnson. Before I knew it, the words fell from my mouth, the camera came out and now you can enjoy this tour from across the country (or even county) and with out your little octopi assistants!

If you are looking for inspiration for your twin's room or a guest bedroom, or if you just love French Provincial style, take a closer look at the pair of French blue twin beds to the right of the gorgeous, creamy dresser/sideboard.

Chic it up!!!!!!!

As you can see, the style and uniqueness varies from piece to piece. Bring your ideas, bring your decorator, and surely you'll find something at Windrow to complement your home decor or even inspiration for a new project!











Blue is such a lovely color! Imagine my surprise when I spotted the piece above. After reading the March 2008 issue of House Beautiful, and falling in love with the blue "antique buffet de corps" on page 85, I found THIS in Winchester. The true colors didn't show up in this photo, so you'll have to visit the store and see it for yourself! This is truly an elegant piece.

See something you like? Email Cheryl or call the store at 540-662-9009/540-327-6288. Windrow is located at 15 East Boscawen Street in Olde Town Winchester. Once again, you’ll find a decorator’s delight with antiques as well as other home and garden related inventory, both old and new. Remember, inventory changes over time. Fair Warning: In this town, great buys and hard to find items are snatched up quickly.
