Beautiful tastefully renovated 108-yr old farmhouse with old farmhouse charm. This exceptional home has been wonderfully maintained, features an open concept kitchen and living room with stainless appliances, granite countertops & excellent storage. There are high ceilings throughout, 2 fireplaces (one with a 2-yr old wood stove), renovated bathrooms (one has a large separate shower plus an enameled cast iron tub!), and an oversized two car garage with electricity, electric garage doors and a worktable. The electric panel panel was replaced in 2022. Both heating and cooling systems were replaced in 2021/2022, water heater replaced in 2020, and the septic had a new line installed to the tank in 2020. 4-board fencing was installed in 2019 and surrounds the front and side yard. There is also small garden shed and generator hook-up. Approximately 2 acres is open and the rest of the property is wooded with trails to hike on. There are orchard trees and 3 raised planting beds. This is a special property for your dream "farmette"! It is in a private quiet location, yet easily accessible to the Town of Madison, Charlottesville, hiking, wineries, eateries, galleries, and all the Blue Ridge has to offer. A visit to "The Farmhouse on Ruth Road" will win you over and show you it's your perfect country place.
