Description

Brimming with historic charm and character, this incredibly special c.1850 home spans over 3,000 square feet with four bedrooms, three and a half baths, and a detached brick office with heated floors. Nestled in the sweet Glenaire neighborhood of Ivy, it sits on five beautiful acres - half open and fenced, and half wooded with a stream running through. The home was completely renovated between 2013-2021 to include new electrical system, plumbing system, all new custom-tiled bathrooms, full metal roof, full kitchen renovation, front porch renovation, back porch renovation, creation of primary bedroom walk-in closets, a regraded front yard and circular driveway, and a French drain added to walk-out basement. Special attention was given to maintaining as many original characteristics as possible, such as the kitchen's ceiling beams, Virginia soapstone on the front and back porches, and heart pine floors upstairs. Many of the countless renovations have been documented on HGTV’s “House Hunters,” and "House Hunters: Where Are They Now?" as well as blogs such as IKEA and Country Living. This is a chance to own an extraordinary property in Albemarle County within minutes of the University!
