180 Lynx Farm Ln, Charlottesville, VA 22903

A private gated drive winds through the trees to this enchanting little cottage on more than 1.6 acres in Ivy. Mature woods frame a lovely, level yard, creating a peaceful setting that feels tucked away without being remote. Inside, pale painted hardwood floors lend a relaxed country-cottage feel, while abundant natural light and an open, easy layout make the home feel airy and inviting. Thoughtfully scaled at 1,200 square feet, the one-level floor plan makes wonderful use of every inch, with 2 spacious bedrooms, 2 full baths and all the spaces you need. The living room centers around a wood-burning fireplace and flows easily into the kitchen with white cabinetry, gas cooking and a beadboard peninsula, and a full dining area with views to the surrounding trees. The primary suite includes a walk-in closet and private bath with double vanity, soaking tub and separate shower. Covered front and open rear porches offer two wonderful spots to enjoy the quiet surroundings, while an oversized one-car garage provides plenty of parking and storage. In the Murray Elementary district, with Charlottesville and UVA close at hand and the Blue Ridge just to the west, this is an easy little place to call home.
