The beloved home of a local architect and poet, this offering is in the center of the city with a true cottage feel. Those who visit feel they have stepped into a secluded hillside refuge. Two detached studios on the property provide solitude for the artist, writer, professor or contemplative. Sunlight streams into the large windows of the kitchen/dining room, and the native and perennial plantings and stone pathways surrounding the main house create a naturalist’s haven. A main floor guest suite with privacy that is rare in a small house, and another on the lower level provide sleeping escapes for multiple guests. Parking can be tricky for this city home, but with close proximity to UVA, the Downtown Mall, Barracks Road or McIntire Park the location allows for easeful town living. A unique hidden gem, this property patiently awaits the right buyer.
