1126 Amber Ridge Road
Tucked into the hills ten miles west of Charlottesville, this 4-bedroom manor home has been lovingly maintained and updated. The home is set back from the road behind a front lawn with mature trees, and its cedar-sided contemporary Cape Cod design blends beautifully with its surroundings. An open-plan entry level is the sun-filled heart of the home, with attractive touches that give it personality and a warm, homey feel. Wide-planked hardwood floors gleam in the light from oversized windows. The living area has a wood-burning fireplace with marble surround. The entire entry-level is freshly painted. Renovated in 2006, the kitchen combines urban style and practical design; it features white cabinetry with glass displays, an island and breakfast bar, mosaic tile backsplashes, and a large pantry; the refrigerator was replaced in 2006.
A king-sized master suite on the first level offers more hardwood flooring and a walk-in-closet. The updated attached master bathroom has a tub shower with a decorative tile surround. Three bedrooms upstairs are nicely sized, with carpeting and large closets. Other home updates include a water heater and heat pump installed in 2009 and 2008. In addition, the exterior of the home was stained in 2012.
This home also offers versatile and extensive outdoor space and outbuildings. A two-car garage and workshop is freshly painted; there is also an external storage house. A beautiful patio with new slate tile is perfect for outdoor dining and entertaining. The secluded backyard has classic wood rail fencing; garden plantings include a magnolia tree and various perennial flowers. The Highlands at Mechums River is a picturesque community of rolling streets and pastoral common areas at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The surrounding area abounds with hiking, orchards, wineries, and parks. The Home Owner’s Association provides all lawn mowing, roof maintenance, and area upkeep, making life in this beautiful home practically maintenance-free.
