Description: Just outside the Village of Ivy west of Charlottesville is this charming contemporary designed by Jack Laramore, AIA, for one of Charlottesville’s most respected UVA physicians. Mr. Laramore incorporated intimate one-floor living with expansive outdoor space, all sited to capture beautiful views of the Blue Ridge Mountains through a protected allée. Adjoining land in Conservation easement further protects the property. The first floor master suite enjoys those Blue Ridge views, as does the entire first floor of living room, dining room, kitchen, deck and large screened porch. The garden level bedroom and adjoining bath is excellent for guests or returning children or grandchildren. At this level, too, is an office and large workshop with outside entry. There is a sunny yard and yet plenty of shade for azaleas and rhododendron. A custom-made smokehouse resides in the back yard for the culinary adventurer and a large garden shed is here as well. Neighbors and privacy - a hard to beat combination - in one of Albemarle's most respected communities minutes from Downtown and UVA.
