Welcome to your new home in Hickory Forest in Historic Louisa County!

It's the property you've been looking for! Built in 1752, this 3100+ square foot home is rich with historic character and beautifully situated. Located in the picturesque foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Louisa County offers a balance between the peaceful life in rural communities and everything an urban center has to offer. Just east of Charlottesville and 40 minutes west of Richmond, a beautiful drive awaits.The land is beautifully mature and varied with two ponds and Cub Creek running through the property.

Level I.
Walk into the front foyer to find hardwood flooring throughout. On your right you will find a heavenly lit large formal living room equipped with portrait molding and brick fireplace with decorative mantle. Original glass windows and plenty of room for meeting and greeting.

Do you feel you need a more of a relaxed atmosphere? Come on over to the family room. Crown molding surrounds this cozy room which is equipped with a gas burning fireplace and ceiling fan. In between the family and living rooms lies some ample storage space, perfect for those knitting needles or quilts.

Lower Level: One of the best qualities of this home is its ability to split in two and provide privacy and separation. While you relax and entertain on one side, you can rest and play on the other. The back access to the home includes a screened in sleeping porch and enters into a wide foyer with coat closet. A Large bedroom (Master optional) with portrait molding, ceiling fan, and fireplace, provides a comfortable setting for a good night's sleep. Across the hall lies a full bathroom with tub and an additional room which would make a fantastic office or children's play area or additional bedroom and includes a closet.

Basement Level. Feeling peckish? Let's venture downstairs to the kitchen adorned with stainless steel appliances, electric stove top cooking, and side outdoor access. Plenty of room for eat-in capabilities with servant stair access and storage underneath. The separate dining area is rich with exposed hand hewn wood beamed ceiling and ceramic tile floors. A gas log burning fireplace enhances warm holiday meals or a romantic candlelit rendezvous. The pantry also resides here just outside the kitchen. Here you will also find the remnants of cell bar impressions on the windows where the sheriff held his prisoners in between jails. Outdoor access is also available from the dining area. This home is rich in Virginia History.

Upper Levels. Up the stairs and to the left, leads you to a beautiful Master bathroom equipped with Jacuzzi tub and an eye opening view of the sky and land. Rough-in shower is ready to go and has been inspected. Bathroom just needs the finishing touches and you can enjoy a wonderful bathing sanctuary. To the right, lies a possible bedroom with a trunk room/nursery in between. Attic access is also available which has tons of storage space as well. 

Down the stairs and to the other side of the home and up again, you'll find two additional rooms, perfect for a private study or bedroom with decorative fireplaces. 

We love the historic features in the home as well as the modern updates. With a little love, this house will go a long way for you and your family, not to mention it retains such chronicled history. It truly is a unique home that can be envisioned into a grand estate.
