Is your dream house an updated midcentury ranch on an acre of land in the near west end? In a perfect world, would it be surrounded by fruit trees, pollinator gardens, carefully curated native plants and butterfly bushes? What if, tucked away at the rear of the lot, there was a custom tiny house with a clawfoot tub and a woodstove, where you could relax and reflect whenever you needed a quiet getaway steps from your door? It’s waiting for you here. This solidly built 4 bedroom, 2 bath home just off of Three Chopt Road is not a flip; it was mindfully renovated by owner occupants. The renovation intentionally retained much of the home’s original charm, with hardwood floors throughout and a charming built in china cabinet. The floor plan was opened to accommodate a spacious maple butcher block island with a seamless induction cooktop and stainless hood vent. The kitchen was designed with storage and ease of use in mind – everything pulls out for easy access. The main living area of the home serves as a buffer btwn the primary suite & the other bedrooms & bath; the primary includes a walk-in closet as well as an en suite bath with heated floors. 1 of the 3 other bedrooms comes with a Murphy bed to provide an office/guest room. In back there's a full deck with wheelchair lift and a workshop with skylights and electricity. The center gate posts at the front and rear of the yard are removable so you can drive into the yard from the driveway. At the far rear of the one acre lot sits a custom built tiny house, ready for use by guests or just you! It is highly insulated, pre-plumbed and ready for solar if you choose (panels convey) & movable w/ o a wide load permit. Other updates to the main include an induction oven, level 2 car charger (driveway), French drains, crawl encapsulation, custom mosquito curtains on the full country front porch & full brick repointing '22. Walk to Cheswick Park, easy access to highway, 2 neighborhood pools & tons of shopping & dining options close by. This is truly a rare one – don’t miss it!
