Property Description
An oasis of privacy, the original Cottage of West Leigh, once enjoyed by the Kennedy family, combines a beautiful neighborhood setting with convenient access to town amenities. Lovingly maintained and tastefully improved, the home offers two primary suites, one with a fireplace, and a light-filled great room overlooking magnificent Japanese maples. Enjoy heated floors in all of the bedrooms and downstairs bathroom. The kitchen features a beverage cooler, EcoSmart instant hot water, and KitchenAid and Frigidaire appliances. A delightful covered side porch by Grier & Associates invites dining al fresco. Above the detached two-car garage, a cozy retreat with skylights and built-in shelving offers space for an office, game room, or guests. A separate storage shed with a new roof accommodates a riding mower and gardening supplies. Near the home, a sunny, fenced garden area provides room for herbs, vegetables, and flowers while keeping dogs in and deer out. Explore the grounds and cross Little Ivy Creek on the new Trex bridge. Along the creek banks, more than 200 native trees planted through the James River Rapidan Buffer Program promise growing beauty for years to come.
