Great room scale, light, and flow

Inside the home, the great room opens under a two-story ceiling with transom windows that wash the space in light. A floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace with a floating mantel anchors the room, and wide plank site-finished hardwood flooring runs throughout the main level. French doors connect to a covered porch that looks over open fields, giving an easy indoor-to-outdoor connection for gatherings in every season.

Exterior architecture rooted in place

The exterior pairs board and batten style cladding with natural stone accents for a timeless farmhouse character. The rear elevation reveals a walk-out lower level that brings daylight to the basement and expands the usable square footage. A screened porch and a quiet side porch create multiple outdoor rooms, and a low courtyard wall of local stone frames the front approach.

Materials chosen for Central Virginia living

The finish palette is simple, durable, and warm. Stonework inside and out connects the house to the site. The hardwood flooring was selected for grain variation and long-term performance. Large window groupings are positioned to frame rural views and to bring in morning and afternoon light across the main living spaces.

Location convenience without losing privacy

The property enjoys a country setting while staying close to schools, work, and culture. It is an easy drive to the University of Virginia and downtown amenities, which is one reason many clients choose Albemarle County for a custom build.
