Welcome to High Green! High green is the signal for trains that means "all is well--proceed!"
Located off scenic 29 south of Charlottesville with the main portion of the house designed by local architect Kirk Train.
Beautiful details throughout. Mature boxwoods line the path.
Copper roof and numerous cupolas--windows everywhere characterize this unique home.
Spacious entrance hall is full of custom woodwork.
Details suggestive of train signals are incorporated into the design.
View from the living area through the entrance hall shows how this area is all connected.
The livingroom has windows on three sides --including a dramatic floor to ceiling "pointed bay" looking out to the west.
Another view of this room shows the open door to the gazebo-shaped covered porch. Note the transom windows. Each awning-style window is operated by a crank handle.
This generous porch is the grand stand for watching all the happenings in the pond and woods beyond.
It's also one of the best views for observing passing trains! A source of complete delight for the owners.
Across the entrance hall is the library with a wetbar, ice maker and more built-in cabinets and shevles for glasses and supplies for entertaining on the wall opposite this photo. Floor to ceiling windows flank the room.
Details throughout the house are consistently thoughtful and appropriate for the space.
From these gorgeous and well proportioned rooms we head to the original part of the house. This large space serves as dining room and kitchen. One of the many cupolas is right above the table.
This room has french doors on both sides and plenty of windows that face the pond. Steps down to the pond are accessed from a gallery-style deck from the dining room area of the room.
Right off the kitchen is this wonderful screened porch that looks out to the pool, gardens and gentle hills beyond. Many a breakfast, lunch and dinner are enjoyed right here...
Looking back at the screened porch from the edge of the far edge of the pool
This exterior photo shows the steps from the kitchen, the pointed bay in the livingroom and the gazebo porch on the right. The door under the gallery porch leads to two bedrooms and two full baths.
Here's one of the two bedrooms on the lower level. There are also laundry facilities for pool towels or gardening clothes. This level is nicely separated from the rest of the house but connects to the kitchen by interior stairs.
The stairs in the addition are beautifully fashioned with curving handrails.This view is at the top of the steps and shows the cupola above the diningroom table below just outside the window.
A large balcony directly above the front door is at the other end of this spectacular landing on the second floor.
To the left of the upstairs landing is a hall with a generous-sized closet and upstairs laundry facilities. The hall leads to a bedroom with fireplace, built-ins and a full bath.
At the opposite end of the landing is another hall leading to the master bedroom suite. The bedroom is designed for its view of the pond and grounds.
The adjacent bath is classic white with cast iron tub and tile shower. The floor is wood and tile. Nicely proportioned spaces and a walk in closet are part of the master suite.
Back downstairs at the terrace level is a large family space with an adjoining office or playroom. A huge storage room with floor to ceiling shelves is also on this level.
Brick patterned flooring is throughout the lower level in this part of the house.
Older part with cupolas on top with newer addition to the left. Oversized garage with apartment above is to the right.
The garage is just as beautifully built and detailed as the rest of the house. There's an efficiency apartment above the garage.
With doors everywhere, it's easy to get outside and enjoy the property.
The property has a variety of farm buildings scattered about--most are newer but this is a charming older one.
Terraced gardens go down to the pool.
The "flat woods" parcel is bordered by Cove Creek and accessed by a railroad crossing. This view is looking back at the house from the other side of the tracks. Come discover this property!
