Privately sited at the end of a quiet lane on 2.64 wooded acres within the gates of Farmington Country Club, 1545 Brook Hill Lane offers something unexpected in one of Charlottesville's most established and storied settings. Pass through the brick entrance pillars and up the long, tree-lined drive, and the home comes into view at the circular drive. Among the traditional Virginia architecture around it, this striking contemporary residence stands apart: bold, sophisticated and distinctly individual.nnWith nearly 6,000 square feet, five bedrooms and four and a half baths, the home is defined by expansive living spaces, clean architectural lines, soaring ceilings and abundant natural light. Its contemporary main level was fully renovated in 2020. Double front doors open to a generous entry that flows into the living room, which has space for several seating areas and is well suited to formal entertaining. Large-scale windows bring the wooded surroundings inside.nnAt the center is a beautifully designed gourmet kitchen with soapstone countertops, custom cabinetry, high-end appliances, a hallway of built-in pantry storage and an oversized, architecturally stunning island made for gatherings. An informal eating area opens to the formal dining area, and a cozy family room leads out to the covered stone patio. A separate gathering space was created to hold a golf simulator and would also make an ideal theater or game room. Large-format tile flooring, extensive recessed lighting and thoughtfully chosen modern finishes continue throughout.nnA dramatic sliding door opens to the main-level primary suite. This private retreat has a spacious bedroom and a beautifully appointed bath with a double vanity, a private water closet and an oversized shower with multiple shower heads. The suite also connects to a walk-in closet with a custom closet system and to its own laundry. A powder room completes the main level.nnThe architecture itself tells a compelling story. The main level has been reimagined with a distinctly modern point of view, while the traditional wing keeps the home's original character. That wing holds four additional bedrooms and three full baths, which offer flexibility for guests, office space or extended stays. It also includes a lower-level family room with a fireplace and a utility/storage room. The next owner can embrace the contrast or continue the transformation.nnOutside, the covered stone patio extends the living space for dining, entertaining or simply enjoying the private, wooded setting. A golf cart enclosure with a charger makes for an easy ride to the renowned Farmington Country Club (membership optional and not included).nnAll of this is set within Farmington, where nearly a thousand acres, Blue Ridge Mountain views and historic architecture create an unmistakable sense of place. UVA, downtown Charlottesville, dining, shopping, vineyards and the Virginia countryside are all within easy reach.nn1545 Brook Hill Lane is not the conventional Virginia estate, and that is precisely its appeal. It is a rare opportunity to own a modern, architecturally distinctive home in a setting celebrated for its history, beauty and enduring character.
