Modern Comfort meets Natural Beauty! Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in an ultra-convenient City neighborhood (18 minute stroll to farmer's market and dining at IX Park!) this 3 BR/3.5 bath light-filled home blends thoughtful design with energy efficiency and easy access to nature. Inside: vaulted ceilings and custom lighting elevate the open-concept great room, where generous windows invite the outdoors in. The custom kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining and living areas, and right out to a spacious screened porch which feels like a private treehouse. Fenced backyard - landscaped with native plants and backing to a wooded area with a meandering creek - offers privacy and seasonal views of Carter?s Mountain. A finished walk-out terrace level adds flexible living space and opens to a concrete patio for additional outdoor enjoyment. A full (out of sight!) solar array ($25k value!) provides power for the home and EV charging, plus the Pearl Certification ensures this home is energy efficient. With easy access to the Rivanna Trail, 5th Street Station, and the Downtown Mall, this home delivers on comfort, connection, and sustainability in one beautifully designed package.
