Build your dream home in the heart of Ivy while living comfortably next door in a beautifully renovated cottage. This unique offering includes a separate 1.32-acre building lot and a fully updated 1950s cottage, just 10 mins from Charlottesville and tucked into one of Western Albemarle's most desirable locations. The 3 BR, 1-bath cottage has been renovated to a high standard and features refinished hardwood floors, a new kitchen with granite countertops, sleek shaker-style cabinetry, subway tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. Major upgrades include all-new plumbing & electrical, thermal windows, water heater, heat pump, insulated ductwork, and extensive wall and attic insulation for exceptional comfort and efficiency. A new laundry room with stacked W/D and pantry is conveniently located off the kitchen where there is step-free access to the driveway and backyard. There is a large garage to hold a workshop plus one car. The adjoining building lot is gently sloping with mature hardwoods, already perked, and ready to build. Make the cottage your future guest house, in-law suite, rental, or sell it to pay off your building costs. Located just behind Duner's Restaurant with easy access to both Charlottesville and Crozet.
