Linden Hill is one of Charlottesville's most distinguished properties, set on over 1.3 acres of beautifully manicured grounds with impressive mountain views. This iconic 1920's home includes two charming cottages and a heated, saltwater pool and spa, offering a luxurious yet private retreat just minutes from downtown, the University of Virginia, shopping, schools, and clubs. Meticulously restored, this Arts and Crafts-inspired residence features unparalleled craftsmanship and high-end finishes throughout. The perfect mix of new systems with the patina of a historic residence. The gourmet kitchen boasts a Lacanche range, a free-standing Subzero refrigerator, quartzite countertops, and custom cabinetry and millwork. With four bedrooms on the second floor, including a primary suite, and an expansive second primary suite on the third floor, the layout combines elegance with flexibility. The two cottages offer endless possibilities—use them as guest houses (2 additional bedrooms), a home office or studio, or as a pool house. 2-car attached garage. This is a rare opportunity to own one of the finest estate-caliber properties Charlottesville has to offer.
