About This Home

As of July 2025

This is a stunning cottage in the heart of Afton wine country, completely renovated inside and out by one of Nelson County's premier design/build firms, Capler Homes. Originally built in 1946, this 2br/2ba cottage is an absolute gem. The large cobble patio with sitting wall and fire pit is such a great outdoor space for entertaining. Craftsman touches include a handsome standing seam metal roof, Hardie Shake and concrete stonework for the siding, and bluestone caps on the entryway columns. Inside, floating hardwood floors lead you to an open concept living space accented with reclaimed lumber trim. The kitchen and dining area is outfitted with Kraftmaid cabinets, quartz counters and backsplash. High end stainless appliances feature a fridge, range, and dishwasher by KitchenAid, as well as a built-in microwave by Whirlpool. The primary bedroom has its own private bathroom with walk-in tiled shower. The second bedroom enjoys a full bath with tub/shower. There's a side by side Whirlpool washer and dryer in the laundry room. Notice the thick and ample sills in the casement windows throughout the home. Firefly fiber internet for streaming and telework. Matching 12x10 shed. And those Blue Ridge mountain views? They are simply priceless.
