This home needs to be seen in person to be believed! Every inch, inside and out, has been thoughtfully designed- from the expansive and surrounding fenced gardens to the meticulously renovated interior- there is no other home like this one. Pull into the circular drive and the gardens and stone patio welcome you into this light filled home. The living room is always sunny with two large skylights and simultaneously cozy with its wood burning fireplace and raised wood paneling. From the large front screened porch to the back deck, you are surrounded by privacy and views of the beautifully landscaped grounds. The kitchen is a chef's dream with custom inset cabinets, marble counters, gas range and paneled refrigerator and dishwasher. There are 2 bedrooms and baths on the first floor including a primary wing with ensuite bath with walk in shower- making this home perfect for someone looking to age in place. Downstairs you will find a large family room and third bedroom and en suite bath.

Peakland, located between Fort Avenue and Langhorne Road, is a residential and walkable Lynchburg neighborhood with a leafy streetscape and early-20th-century architecture. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Fort Avenue corridor near the Fort Avenue–Langhorne Road junction, where independent eateries, small storefronts, and steady sidewalk activity set the tone. Peaks View Park serves as a daily anchor for trails, courts, and open lawns. Nearby, the Academy Center of the Arts and the Lynchburg Community Market add a cultural and culinary counterpoint to the quiet blocks of bungalows and brick colonials. Side streets roll gently toward Blackwater Creek, linking the area to greenway rides and runs. The pace feels local and lived-in, with porches, mature trees, and pocket-scale commerce shaping the routine.
