2557 CRAIGS STORE RD

Just 14 minutes from Crozet and set on 3.3 private acres just 3 miles from the heart of Batesville in the Western Albemarle School District, this inviting home offers a rare blend of usable land, natural beauty, and a comfortable, functional layout. Hardwood floors span the main level, where the kitchen flows easily into a dining space with bay window and direct access to a fantastic screened porch and spacious deck--perfect for taking in the expansive, tree-lined backyard. The living room features built-in cabinetry and a wood stove, while a separate family room is filled with natural light. A main-level bedroom or office and full bath provide flexible living options. Upstairs, the primary suite includes a vaulted ceiling, walk-in closet, and ceramic-tiled bath, along with three additional bedrooms with generous closets and an updated hall bath. The terrace level adds a finished rec room, laundry, fifth bedroom, and unfinished storage. One the side-yard, there's a large workshop/storage shed as well. The setting is peaceful and private, with open lawn and mature trees, all within easy reach of Batesville and a short drive to Charlottesville.
