Synopsis of Features
Sylvanaqua is a lovely estate for sale in Albemarle County, Virginia, a property comprised of 26 acres along the meandering Rivanna River in Earlysville. The 5000+ sf home was constructed in 1993 by Robert Turner, one of Charlottesville’s luxury home builders, for his own family. Among its many special features are fine wood trim, wood and marble flooring, wide southern porches, and great expanses of windows which capture the beauty of gardens, forest, seasonal mountain views, and sunsets.
As you enter the home’s commanding foyer, you might catch your breath at the beauty of the forested view which surrounds the property, proudly displayed through a wall of windows in the living room, with its soaring ceiling. This wide, welcoming foyer is impressive, with marble flooring and chestnut trim.
The formal dining room, also located off of the foyer, is situated so that open air dining from the front porch is possible. The flow between kitchen-dining-porches is perfect, making entertaining a breeze.
It is often said that the kitchen is the heart of a home.The Sylvanaqua kitchen lends itself to companionship and energy, designed for many cooks in the household to work. For example, there are two sink areas, totally separate from one another, and there are several “cooking counters”. A modified butler’s pantry leads to the dining room and the breakfast area overlooks the rear forested beauty. With windows and doors open from porches and the deck, there’s great cross ventilation to enjoy the outside while inside.
The kitchen is recently updated with white beaded cabinetry, giving it a cottage effect. New appliances and freshened-up surfaces give the kitchen its own new sparkle.
A family area is incorporated into the kitchen, visually separated from the eating area but similar to a great room effect. Here you’ll love the floor to ceiling cabinetry and shelving.
Everyone needs a private space, and bedrooms at Sylvanaqua are all spacious and light.
The home enjoys a private master suite on the main level, with a new master bath and custom designed dressing area. There is also a private office attached to the master suite.
Upstairs, there are four bedrooms and two full baths. Hallways and stairways throughout the home are wide, adding to the feeling of space. The 2nd level overlooks the living room (and that beautiful wall of glass) via an open balcony. Also from the 2nd level are stairs to a full walk-up attic space that could be completely finished into another 500 feet of living space, but is currently utilized as fantastic storage space.
