About This Home

Welcome to The Melrose at Essence at Colonial Circle—a spacious, move-in-ready townhome designed for modern living. With 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, a 2-car garage, and 2,626 sq ft across three finished levels, this home offers the perfect blend of flexibility, function, and designer style. On the main level, enjoy an open-concept layout with a designer-inspired kitchen featuring GE stainless steel appliances, a large center island, and ample cabinetry. The oversized family room opens to your private deck, ideal for entertaining or unwinding outdoors. A bright flex room on the entry level is perfect for a home office, hobby space, or extra dining. The finished lower-level rec room adds even more space to relax, work, or play. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite includes a two-sided walk-in closet and en-suite bath. Three additional bedrooms, all with walk-in closets, plus bedroom-level laundry (washer and dryer included!) complete the upper level. Located just 20 minutes from Downtown Charlottesville, Colonial Circle delivers the best of both worlds—peaceful community living with walkable trails and a tot lot, and easy access to shopping, dining, parks, and top-rated schools. Whether you're buying your first home or looking to right-size, The Melrose by Stanley Martin is the home—and lifestyle—you’ve been waiting for.
