Welcome to Maple Crest, its new landscaping and additional updates! If you're visiting UVA or Woodberry Forest, attending a wedding at Grelen, a local Garden Tour, the races at Montpellier; or if you simply enjoy wineries, craft beers, history, antiques, art and beautiful views and hikes at the heart of Virginia’s Piedmont... and want to bring Fido or Mittens along, then Maple Crest is perfect for you. In the Spring of 2025, Maple Crest became a flower farm and, with Grelen's Wedding Venues around the corner, Maple Crest is a perfect place to get ready and cut and arrange your own flower bouquets. Inquire ahead for flower availability. This c.1929 home has been thoroughly renovated. The eat-in kitchen is bright and spacious with quartz countertops and new appliances. A cheerful nook is a great place to catch up on emails while you enjoy the birds on the feeder just inches from your seat. There is a half bath on the first floor along with a large living room with a fireplace and a bright sunroom that has eastern and western views. A perfect room for an intimate chat or a deep dive into a good book. There are three bedrooms (one in suite) and two full baths upstairs. The hall bath has an antique clawfoot tub with a shower and the primary bath has a walk-in shower. There is a good utility basement with a washer, dryer, and sink. The house is wonderfully sunny and bright. There are lovely views of surrounding mountains and farms from every room. You'll enjoy sunsets from the front porch and sunrises from the back if you choose to rise early. The front yard is bounded by mature boxwoods offering privacy and a fabulous lawn for croquet. The backyard is fenced with plenty of room for you and your canine friends to romp and play. Behind the backyard is an acre of fenced pasture ideal for field sports and for gathering fresh veggies and flowers in season. If you enjoy the sounds of chickens, (next door), crickets, tree frogs, and occasional trains (surprisingly exciting!), and appreciate being surrounded by farms and farmers within scant minutes of important historic sites and some great wineries, we think you'll enjoy being our guests at Maple Crest. ARE YOU PLANNING A SMALL EVENT? We'd love to help you host/cater events, such as rehearsal dinners, birthday parties, bridal luncheons, sunset cocktail gatherings, and local "chef's-table" dinner experiences. Please, ask us about this! Happy stay!
