5261 ALBERENE RDNORTH GARDEN, VA 22959

Description

Built in the 1890's this southern Albemarle farmhouse is set on a private and level 1.5 acres of gorgeously landscaped lawns, meadow, and woods, in the small and historic hamlet of Alberene. Fully renovated and updated yet retaining the charm and character of an older home. Original heart pine floors, maple cabinets, soapstone counters, and period light fixtures seamlessly mesh with newly installed Mitsubishi hyper-heat ductless heat pump (3 zone), new roof (2019), ceramic tile in kitchen and bath, and much more. Downstairs is a country kitchen with dining space, dual aspect living room with door to side deck, and spacious main bedroom. Upstairs is a second, large bedroom and a bonus room (accessed through the bedroom) that could be a luxurious 2nd floor bath, a childs nursery, home office, or a variety of other uses. The private yard includes many native species of trees and plants, a magnificent weeping cherry, garden spots, and plenty of room for play and leisure. One of the original workers cottages for the Alberene Soapstone Company, the house is a proud contributing structure to the Southern Albemarle Rural Historic District. 25 minutes to Charlottesville.
