Luxury townhouse

Luxury townhouse 10 min from downtown Charlottesville.
10 min to Monticello, Carter’s mountain, and hiking trails. Wegmans shopping center is five minutes away. There is also Charlottesville's Historic Downtown Mall, one of the longest pedestrian malls in the country, with 120 retail shops, restaurants, and art galleries. The home is a short drive to the University of Virginia and the top-rate UVA Medical Center. John Paul Jones Arena is also close by for live music and entertainment. There are numerous vineyards and outdoor activities to enjoy.
The space is modern, comfortable, luxurious, spacious, with tall ceilings and lots of windows. There is a nice deck off the kitchen. The first floor is the ground entrance. You take the stairs up to the second level. Unlock the door with the provided key. Your space includes the second floor: the kitchen, powder room, living room, and dining area. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to prepare meals. The 3rd level includes the 3 bedrooms and two full bathrooms. My tenant lives in the studio apartment on the first floor with sweet pups, Chance and Lad. They have their own separate locked door. and are very quiet and respectful. I expect that you will be the same. Thank you in advance! You have your own separate, locked entranceway to your part of the townhouse. You share the front door as your primary entranceway.
Quiet time is to be observed between 11 pm and 10 am. No loud music etc. NO parties are allowed at any time.
Please turn off all lights when you leave for the day! Be sure to keep the windows and doors closed. It’s stink bug and ladybug season. They will fly right in!
***This townhouse is my home where I stay when I’m not traveling(which is frequently). If you are not comfortable staying in someone’s home please do not book a stay.
Please be sure to keep the blinds and curtains closed UPSTAIRS on the "street" side of the home during the summer months.
With the temperatures in the upper 80s and 90’s, it's hard for the air conditioner to keep the upstair bedrooms cool when the sun is streaming through those windows.
*** The map shows the location of the house at Lake Monticello. This is incorrect! It is a new subdivision and Google has not caught up!
The street address is 3603 Moffat St, Charlottesville, VA 22902.

Fun things to do: bear in mind you can google any of these destinations on google maps for easy directions.

- A tour of Monticello- President Thomas Jefferson’s historic home is a must see. There are several good vineyards to go to as well in this area. During the busy season – fall, summer and spring it is best to call and get a reservation at this UNESCO World Heritage Site. During the holiday season Monticello is decked out with traditional colonial decorations
-US president James Monroe Highland and US President James Madison historic homes are also very good. There are wonderful vineyards in these locations as well.
- Carter’s Mountain up the street is near Monticello is a very popular destination.
- My personal favorite vineyards are Pipin Hill Farm and vineyard, Dave Matthew’s Blenheim Vineyard, Albemarle Estate at Trump vineyard. Barborsville vineyard is great too and is near James Monroe historic home.
- There is good hiking in and around Charlottesville. There are too many places to list, but a convenient, nearby trail is Saunders-Monticello trail which is very nice.
-Touring UVA/Thomas Jefferson’s Rotunda. Reservations required, but worth it!
Saturday morning farm market off the downtown mall is amazing.

Restaurants: There are many good restaurants in Charlottesville. Here are some of the most popular, local spots:

Breakfast:
Marietta Betts and Blue Moon are small, local spots and are my favorite breakfast brunch place on Sunday morning.
Bodos of course-bagel sandwiches are to die for. Tip Top is casual, and good, for budget conscious folks-in this economy I think we all are!

Lunch:
Mezeh mediterranean grill, Poke Sushi, Mellow mushroom pizza, Monsonsoon Siam(Thai), Milan(Indian). Any of the sushi places on the downtown mall are excellent. There are also chain restaurants: Chipotle, Panerra etc.

*** Near Pipin Hill Farms is a pizza place called Dr. Ho’s which serves up some of the best pizza in town. If you want to do a wine tasting at Pipen, Dr. Ho’s is a great spot for pizza afterwards.
***Michie Tavern is a historic tavern with a period restaurant serving Southern fare, plus a gift shop & tours at Monticello. The current hours are limited from 11:30 – 3 pm. This tavern was a favorite spot of Thomas Jefferson and is right next to Monticello. It’s a bit pricey for what you get, but it’s fun!

Dinner:
Maya’s , Orzos, The Wool Factory(new), Ten(sushi), Tavola, the Local, Zocalos, Continental Divide, Torchy Taco, Red Pump Kitchen, and Brasserie Saison.
