Splendida Casa Coloniale Con Pittoresco Rifugio Alberato

Tucked among the trees on 1.38 acres along Owensville Road in Ivy, this five-bedroom, 2.5-bath Colonial pairs 4,000 finished square feet with a private, wooded setting just west of Charlottesville. The covered wraparound porch sets the tone, with a stained beadboard ceiling, Chippendale railings, and mature evergreen landscaping. Inside, a soaring two-story foyer reveals hardwood floors, crown molding, and wainscoting, with formal living and dining rooms joined by French doors. The gourmet kitchen showcases shaker cherry cabinets, granite counters, a center island, double wall ovens, a new gas cooktop, and a walk-in pantry. It opens to a sunlit breakfast room and a family room with fireplace and access to an elevated deck. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a tray ceiling, walk-in closet, and a bath with soaking tub and separate shower, while three bedrooms, a hall bath, a bonus room, and laundry round out the level. The walkout lower level adds a recreation room, a fifth bedroom, a rough-in for a future bath, and a workshop/storage area. A two-car garage, stamped concrete patio, raised garden beds, and a broad lawn framed by mature hardwoods complete the picture. Just minutes to UVA, Downtown Mall, and the Blue Ridge Mountains.
