About this home
THE PERKINS HOUSE - An opportunity to own a distinguished piece of Charlottesville architectural history along w/ an exceptional cottage/studio. Lovingly preserved by the same family for almost 50 years, this c.1860 residence is a rare surviving example of Gothic Revival style in a premier North Downtown location. The home retains gracious proportions, high ceilings, fireplaces & distinctive period details. The handsome entrance hall w/ a beautifully crafted bannister leads to the living room, where double pocket doors open to a library w/ built-in bookcases, a dining room, eat-in kitchen & full bath. A triple sash window leads to the inviting screen porch overlooking terraced mature gardens, including a thoughtfully planted pollinator garden. Upstairs are four bedrms & full bath. The lower level provides flexible space for home office & laundry. The cottage features cathedral ceiling, repurposed original beams, antique heart pine floors & a custom walnut stair railing crafted from a tree once on the property. Bedroom, full bath & kitchen rough-in offer exceptional opportunity. Easy access to the cottage & the rear of the house from an adjacent street. Moments from the Historic Downtown Mall & UVA.
