Description
Price improvement! Think outside the box, quite literally, with this exquisite 4,000 square foot Deltec "round house" in the heart of the Piedmont. Rethink what a “cabin in the woods” can be. The circle has long been an important symbol in many cultures and this unusual home blends the exotic and the familiar with seamless grace. The efficient design features a panoramic, curving wall of windows that brings the outside in, along with a modern, comfortable interior. This unique property invites one to explore slowly, as its many charms are not immediately apparent. Approaching the front door, the enormous wrap-around deck invites an impromptu detour to take in the view of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Get a front row seat to the never-ending circle of changing light, weather, and seasons of the Blue Ridge. Turning back towards the front door, a flash of red at the edge of the woods catches the eye. This is the Torii gate, leading to the hidden meditation pond. What a delightful spot to sit, breathe, and release the stresses of the day. Indoors, the wide-open great room greets arrivals with a long, curving wall of windows. The outdoors feel like they are part of the indoors here. The great room is a gleaming expanse of cherry floors, designer lighting, high ceilings, and oversized windows. The centerpiece is the gourmet kitchen. Literally at the heart of the home, the kitchen is strategically placed to allow gathering while not impeding the cook. To one side is the open expanse of living area while to the other is the equally open dining area. The kitchen has maple cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and ample granite counters. The large island has a separate prep sink, built in wine rack, cabinets with pull-outs, and space for bar stools. Next to the main sink is a clever butcher block on wheels that tucks under the counter when not in use. The built in pantry is a marvel of accessible storage. Just beyond the great room is a bright, airy bonus room with a glass sliding door and cathedral ceiling. This flexible space would lend itself to use as a media room, office, library, overflow guest room, or all four. The primary bedroom is tucked behind the kitchen and features a cedar walk-in closet and inviting ensuite bath. There is a soaking tub, shower, and heated towel rack for extra luxury. On the other side of the kitchen, the second bedroom is down a short hallway that contains the second bath. This bath repeats the beautiful tile work, complete with river stone inlay and heated towel rack. Next door is the convenient main floor laundry. The full basement has ductwork is in place and roughed-in plumbing for a full bath plus an extra sink. Perhaps a future wet bar or an art room? The septic system is sized for 3 bedrooms, so one could be added on this level. The high ceiling reveals the secret to the round construction: a steel central support post with all floor joists meeting in the center. The circular design provides not only unmatched structural strength but also energy efficiency. Maples lining the driveway provide a graceful green shade in the summer and blazing color in the autumn. The many cherries and other blooming trees put on a spectacular show in the spring. The long front lawn is an expanse of green, dotted with specimen trees along the edges. Just downhill of the house, a path through the mountain laurel invites exploration further afield. Follow the path downhill through fern-covered glades and it reaches a mountain stream, a tributary of the Thornton River. Meander back to the house in time for sunset. The low angle of light streams through the forest onto the deck, as the sinking sun reflects in the windows. Settle in for the evening and watch as the sun sets over the Blue Ridge after another perfect day in the heart of the Piedmont. Experience the circle of day to night, season to season, with this unique circular home to anchor it all.

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIf you don’t have any aspirations for your children, send them here. The school knows their students aren’t likely to attend a higher education and if they do, they will be getting in on a sports scholarship, not academic. They only promote their sports (very limited given the number of kids in the area) and give very few opportunities for educational programs. Really, don’t send your children hereParent Review1y ago - Rappahannock County Elementary School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have had the same experience as the previous parent, as my child was in a very high performing Fairfax County school for kindergarten and first grade, before moving to Rappahannock County. She is now in 7th grade at RCES (the county is too small for a middle school!), and is very happy and successful. Her SOL grades are about as high as they can be, and she has a lot of expanded opportunities with the well-run gifted program. Also, the school has an excellent Farm-to-Table program, and has just renovated the courtyard to include experimental areas for plants and insects, as well as a new pottery kiln. They have also just built a new STEM/STEAM lab. The school is looking great! Our new superintendent is a real jewel.Parent Review6y ago
