Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Virginia

Right to sell Property

My grandparents died and left me a home.In the will it reads''I am left a life-time home at the adress.Then it says if upon my death i hereby give,devise and bequeath the property to my daughter.Does this mean that i can not sell the property?I thought it meant that if i died before my grandma that she was to leave the property to my daughter.Now i would like to sell this property.Can I?
