Property Description
Step back in time without sacrificing modern comfort in this fabulously renovated circa-1887 farmhouse on just under 20 acres, located between Charlottesville and Lynchburg. This exceptional 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath home blends historic charm with thoughtful updates. The main level is filled with natural light, for a warm and welcoming living space. The living room, dining area, and kitchen flow seamlessly together, featuring quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, farmhouse sink, JennAir range, and a movable island perfect for entertaining. Hardwood floors span the main level, while the cozy family sitting area showcases a beautiful slate floor. Two gas fireplaces add to the character that has been preserved throughout the home. The first-floor full bath has heated tile floors, granite countertops, handmade cabinetry, and a tiled tub surround. The main level also offers a large laundry and utility room. Upstairs, the loft provides a versatile living space with skylights and oversized windows that flood the area with natural light. Outside, the decks and porch flank the home. And, the observatory with a sliding roof is perfect for enjoying spectacular night skies. The wooded backdrop features wineberries, trails and abundant wildlife!
