Consider this listing signed, sealed and delivered.
A 2,000-square-foot house in Paeonian Springs, Virginia, comes with a perk that many modern-day Americans would covet: the simple ability of never, ever missing a shipment.
That’s because the home has a fully functioning post office attached to it.
Priced at $405,000, the three-bedroom, one-bathroom Cape Cod-style property comes with an “income-producing” twist, the listing says.
“The side of the home is rented out to the USPS, which is currently within lease, and has been for decades,” the listing notes, adding that any prospective buyers who want to break the decades-long lease with the post office have that option, too.
Standing on a “quiet established street,” the home first listed for sale in January for $465,000. Five months later it received a $60,000 price cut and has since entered contract.
Built in 1930, this is the first time the property has hit the market in nearly 30 years.

It wasn’t long before the home went viral on Facebook, with many keen on the idea of living there — not just for having a post office close at hand.
“So sweet and simple… I would sit on the porch and wave at everyone,” a user named Melanie Lemen Swope said.

Susan Stevenson commented: “I love this and I would be happy living next or with a post office.”
“This is what we needed. Neither of us would have ever been late to work this way,” Alicia Spivey quipped.
