GARDEN WEEK IN VIRGINIA TOUR 2006--Showings begin Thursday, May 28! Secluded on a gently winding lane off River Road, this elegant Georgian style colonial offers the best of Richmond living with the privacy of the country and the convenience of the city. The current owners purchased this property from the original owners in a private sale in 1985. Since that time they have renovated and upgraded the entire property. The original brick and slate two story home, built in 1959, features gracious living and dining rooms, perfect for entertaining. The new additions in 2000 to 2002 included a gourmet kitchen, breakfast room, family room, and a master suite that incorporates a spacious library. The additions also include a porch that extends across the back of the home, a renovated pool and pool house and newly landscaped, totally private pool area. Charlottesville architect, Robert E. Troxell, and Charlottesville landscape architect, Charles J. Stick, worked with the owners to create a sophisticated, yet totally comfortable home that takes advantage of the quality and elegance of the original home while complementing them with new, state of the art living spaces. Working on what the architect described as "axes", they created a sense of balance and scale that present space and light to best advantage. This sense of detail is carried out in many ways, some subtle and some readily apparent. All the mouldings and trim were designed and milled to specification to present one consistent style and scale. Special care went into the design of the mechanical systems to minimize their visual impact. Heating and air conditioning vents are concealed, as well as appliances and storage areas. Solid wood paneling in most of the new and renovated rooms, custom cabinetry with marble or granite countertops, top of the line appliances and fixtures, and new Baldwin hardware are just a few of the indicators of this thoughtful and dramatic renovation. Upstairs there are four bedrooms
