Historic Rugby Road Estate Available for the First Time in Half a Century. Built in 1917 in the Eugene Bradbury style, this remarkable estate features a main house with a deep front porch that opens to a gracious foyer, living room, and library. The generous dining room flows into an eat-in kitchen with antique cupboards. Throughout, you'll find Craftsman detailing, elegant built-in bookshelves, four fireplaces, and original hardwood floors. The ground floor includes a flexible apartment/office space that could serve as a main-level primary bedroom. The second floor boasts a four-room primary suite with ensuite bath, additional bedrooms, & an artisan-tiled bathroom. The third floor offers a cozy dormer room, bedroom, & bath. A covered back porch overlooks expansive landscaping with a flagstone terrace. The property's crown jewel is the writer/artist studio nestled in the back garden with a vaulted ceiling, skylight and sleeping loft. A detached garage/workshop provides additional functionality. The property is over an acre, offering privacy, mature shade trees, creative inspiration, & many possibilities for new owners to craft their vision. The location also provides easy walking access to UVA grounds, city parks, & the Corner.
Great neighborhood, and this house has been taken care of pretty well given its age. Kitchen is larger than pictures make it seem. High ceilings, and a great library/office area. Definitely needs a lot of work to modernize it, but it would be worth...
it in the end.
