This utterly charming cottage, just south of Barboursville & in Albemarle County marries the welcoming, cozy vibe of a simpler time with the benefits of extensive and thoughtful renovation. Enter the home from the rocking chair front porch, with Blue Ridge views. The main floor offers living, dining (with fireplace), country kitchen (with a super retro sink and walk in pantry), a bedroom, full bath and home office/laundry/craft room. The second floor of the home was added in 2009, but left unfinished, then just recently completed with an owners suite with luxury bathroom and walk in closet, a guest bed/bath and a cute loft perfect for play or overflow (though the current owners use it for a child's bedroom). The structural and mechanical systems of the home were all replaced between 2009 and 2021, including roof (09), HVAC (lower in 09 and upper in 2017), siding (09), drywall (09), well pump and water line (09), septic ('21) and much more. See MLS attachments for the full list of improvements. The detached 2 car garage has a world of potential for workspace/studio, the sweet garden shed and play equipment complete the picture. The lot is very deep and the wooded rear is your own private hiking sanctuary with pathways in place!
