Exceptional modern cabin in Saddlewood Farms in Charlottesville, set amongst 5+ acres of mostly native plants and trees, is a nature lover's dream! This private retreat provides peace and tranquility at every turn with a concrete patio, massive wood deck and fire pit to enjoy the outdoors. Step inside to discover gorgeous wood floors and millwork throughout. In the spacious and cozy living room you will find a beautiful soapstone wood stove and vaulted ceiling. Gather around the banquette off the charming kitchen with locally sourced soapstone and wood counters as you transition beyond the custom stained-glass window to the dining room surrounded by trees outside the windows. The stunning family room with reclaimed wood walls leads to the deck with built-in seating. The serene primary suite with adjacent laundry room is tucked away behind a pocket door. Another pocket door up the stairway leads to a generously sized bedroom with a snug window seat. Walk along the ornate banister to find 2 more bedrooms, one with a secluded balcony, and a full bath. Above the massive 2 car garage, you will find a flex space enjoyed over the years by the owners' children. See attached complete list of recent improvements including new septic system!
