Description

Surrounded by history, this home, believed to have been part of Seven Oaks & originally a blacksmith shop, this renovated home has two separate and distinct living spaces - rent one out & live in the other or convert home to single-family home. Beautiful hardwood floors and doors throughout, cupola on one side provides nice light, large slate patio in rear offers space to live & entertain. The shed, previously the library for the Cismont School on Louisa Road offers significant storage options.

History - The owner believes his house was once part of Seven Oaks, a magnificently restored homestead next door. It was a blacksmith shop, with renovations covering the dirt floor in the late 90's. The shed, in a previous life, was the library for the Cismont School on Louisa Road and has been moved twice, ending up under one of the huge oak trees. Across Cismont Lane are the vestiges of the Seven Oaks Drive-In theatre and a grass softball field where neighbors gather for an annual summer softball game. The scoreboard, now removed, had score lines for "Home" and "Home" and a quote at the bottom, "where everyone feels at home".

The modern conveniences and rustic touches blend harmoniously to offer a comfortable home in a relaxed setting. The renovations created a one-bedroom, loft and one-bathroom main unit with an accessory apartment that offers the same one-bedroom, loft and one-bathroom space with separate entrances. With minor adjustments, the house could become a three-bedroom, three-bath home of 2400+ sq. ft. by turning the accessory apt's living room into a master bedroom and it's kitchen into a spacious master bath.

Conveniently located between Gordonsville (8 miles), Charlottesville (9 miles), and Zion Crossroads (15 miles), this home is located in the beautiful and peaceful Keswick horse country, full of large estates and fascinating history.
