1291 Hammocks Gap Road. Charlottesville, VA

 

This sensational architectural gem demonstrates what charm can be extracted from a simple one-story design.

 

Executed in 1964/65 this French Pavilion styled residence has 12 ft ceilings,floor to ceiling windows and doors, exposed steel, timber beams, and fireplace. A 1999 addition - as seen above on the left - was a very sympathetic appendage.

 

The one-story home has 3,555 sq-ft, 3 bedrooms and 3 baths. It resides in the countryside of Charlottesville, Virginia on a 10.95 acre parcel of land.

 

It returned on the market in September 2011 for $1.95 million having been sold last in May 09 2005 for $1,900,000. RELISTED Sep 2013 for $1,745,000. Dropped to $1,495,000 in April 2015 and under contract

 

Inspiration was 'Little Ipswich', the Chalmers Wood Jr. estate designed by Delano & Aldrich c. 1927 in Woodbury (Long Island) NY which was razed in the 1990's.
