Stand at the kitchen sink and the whole wall in front of you is glass--a wide bay of divided lights under a tray ceiling looks out over wooded serenity and outdoor entertaining space. It might be the best window in the house, and it happens to be right where you'll do the dishes. Turn around and there's a fire blazing in the hearth room, painted brick with an arched firebox. The table in the adjacent great room sits close enough that whoever's cooking never misses a conversation. Past that, a sunroom glazed on three sides pulls in light from every angle. Kitchen, hearth room, sunroom: three spaces that read as one, and it's clearly where this house wants to be lived in. Next to the kitchen, the formal dining room keeps its own identity, even when it's used as a home office: a bay window, chair rail, picture framing, and the same hardwood that runs through the main level. To the front, a large and sunny living room and a study. Two of the bathrooms have been beautifully renovated and while the primary bath is original, it wears its age well: clean, cared for, with a double vanity, shower stall & and soaking tub, ready for the next owners to make it their own. The four bedrooms include a spacious vaulted primary suite under two skylights. Outside, a wraparound porch sits under a standing-seam metal roof, and the house sits well back on six-tenths of a treed acre. Recent updates include a 2017 roof, refinished hardwoods, and fresh exterior paint (2026), plus an aggregate driveway, walkways, and patio. All in a terrific location near the James River off Cherokee Road--great schools, Trader Joe's and popular restaurants just around the corner.
