Serenity meets convenience at this freshly renovated Charlottesville home. Located just 20 minutes from UVA and Crozet, walking distance to Knight's Gambit Vineyard, and situated across the street from the Lake Albemarle boat launch. The location speaks for itself. Built in 1930, this 2-bed, 2-bath cottage retains its original character, solid bones, and secluded feel on a wooded lot. Major updates just completed include: new roof, AC, siding, wall insulation throughout and a spacious 3 season screened-in porch. Fresh kitchen and bath renovations give the home a modern feel, never stripped of the charm. Quiet by design with no boat gas motors allowed, Lake Albemarle offers year-round fishing for bass, bluegill, and catfish. You can be out on the water at first light and back on your porch for coffee before dawn. Whether you're an angler seeking private access, a buyer looking for a wooded retreat with privacy just a short drive from town, or ready to rent out one or both bedrooms and let the property work for you, this home delivers!
