Tucked among the trees in coveted Ednam Forest, this architect-designed home offers a rare combination of architectural character, privacy and an exceptional Ivy location. Designed by a respected architect for the original owners and built by Abrahamse, the cedar sided home with copper roof feels like a sophisticated tree house, with expansive windows bringing the surrounding wooded landscape indoors. A curved architectural wall welcomes you in the entry, while the inviting living room features a vaulted ceiling and wood-burning fireplace. The eat-in kitchen with breakfast nook opens to a comfortable family room with fireplace, creating an easy flow for everyday living and entertaining. The first-floor primary suite is complemented by an adjacent den. Upstairs, two private bedrooms share a full bath. The sunny terrace level provides additional living space with a recreation room, renovated full bath and bedroom/combination room. Recent improvements include fresh interior paint, newer heat pump and exterior paint. Ideally located within walking distance of Boar’s Head Resort and Birdwood Golf Course, and just minutes from a local country club, UVA Grounds and sports facilities.
