Nice farmhouse on great land. Has been updated a time or two, but not recently. Rooms are fairly large given the age of the home. Roughly square 10 acre parcel has a ton of possibilities.
THREE CHOPT ACRES - Timeless character and charm are embodied in this circa 1801 vernacular brick residence on 10+/- acres. A large two story wing was added to the rear of the house in 1941. Today the main level has classic entrance hall, living room, library, spacious dining room, eat in kitchen, half bath and laundry. Upstairs is a wide hallway with three well portioned bedrooms and a full bath. Walk up attic that has been well insulated. The integrity and beauty of the many historic architectural details in the early section of the house such as the pine floors, fireplace mantels, doors, stair detailing and stunning woodwork remain intact. From the large veranda enjoy the immediate gardens, the pool in the distance and the pastures. Detached two car garage. Firefly Fiber Optic Internet and generator! Additional land is available. Conviently located with quick access to Charlottesville and the University of Virginia and also easy access to Richmond.
