A breezeway addition with coat closet and full bath leads to a small library with exposed log walls and heart pine floor. Adjacent is a sunny guest room with heart pine paneling, vaulted beamed ceiling and stone fireplace. The original living room is the heart of the home, ready for family game nights, movies and holiday celebrations. Walls feature exposed chestnut logs; floor is heart pine and there is large stone fireplace. Stairs lead to two cozy bedrooms with custom stenciled poplar paneling and pine floors.

A second addition, completed in 2008, leads down a bright, tiled hallway with space for houseplants, an antique sink for convenient plant care and a stairwell leading to basement storage. An adjoining covered porch with slate floor, and original milk-painted finishes harkens back to the cabin’s origins.

On the opposite end of the hall, the master bedroom accommodates a fitness corner, office alcove and closet/dressing room with drop-down stairs to cedar closet above. Finishes include a vaulted ceiling, red oak window trim and flooring. A sliding door leads to a covered porch with Blue Ridge views and welcome shade on summer evenings. The master bath features cherry vanity, large walk-in shower, and soaking tub. Past the adjoining laundry room, a small deck leads to a secluded outdoor shower with a view of Harris Mountain.

The property is located just 30 minutes from Charlottesville and the University of Virginia, 10 minutes from hiking trails at the Patricia Ann Byrom Forest preserve, 18 miles from Shenandoah National Park, and a short drive from numerous Western Albemarle wineries, breweries and orchards. Two popular ski resorts are within an hour’s drive.
