1882 Charm Meets Contemporary Elegance
Welcome to this stunning Victorian home built in 1882 by Robert Stiles as a summer home for his family. He named it Dinglewood for the surrounding woodland of trees, shrubs, and flowering foliage. The home and property have only been in the care of two other families. The current owners did a complete renovation adding a two-story addition with gourmet kitchen on the first floor and primary suite on the second floor. Improvements include new electrical, new plumbing, three new bathrooms, two geothermal HVAC units, new decks on the side and back, and fencing surrounding the entire property. This sale includes a second lot (1640 Buford Rd). This home is a stunning example of a "Stick style" Victorian house, with large rooms, beautiful woodwork, floor to ceiling windows, original quarter sawn pine flooring, wrap-around porch, and side lot with centuries-old trees. A new oversized two-car garage with unfinished level for studio, office, workshop or apartment. Both the house and garage are home automation-ready, with connected appliances and prewired Z-wave light switches in most locations. All restorations and improvements were completed to US and Virginia standards of Historic Preservation, in keeping with the spirit of the Bon Air National Historic District. Enjoy 3,836 sq ft of this historic home which has been artfully updated for today's living with 4 bedrooms and 3 and a half baths, two laundry rooms, and a second primary bedroom on the first floor. Conveniently located near shopping and restaurants in the Village of Bon Air.
