1665 Brandywine Dr, Charlottesville, VA 22901
What's special
Offered for sale for the first time in its history, this distinctive Greenbrier residence has been home to Charlottesville architect W. Douglas Gilpin Jr. & his family for the past 42 years. Designed by Gilpin as his personal residence, the home reflects an emphasis on light, nature & its wooded Meadow Creek setting. Nearly an acre of green space surrounds the home, where expansive windows & sliding glass doors frame the woods & draw the outdoors into everyday living. A spacious living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace opens to an elevated, treehouse-like deck overlooking Meadow Creek, where the calming sounds of the water can be heard below. The Gilpin-designed, Alexander Nicholson-built addition features a generous kitchen with custom Gaston & Wyatt cabinetry, granite breakfast bar, built-in desk & adjoining family/dining rm with vaulted ceiling & broad woodland views. Upstairs are 3 BRs, including the primary suite overlooking the creek. The finished walkout lower level adds a 4th BR, full bath & second family rm with wet bar, plus substantial unfinished storage/workshop space. A private path connects to the Rivanna Trail & Meadow Creek rock-hop—all from a remarkably natural setting right in the heart of Charlottesville
