Experience the timeless beauty of historic Pleasant Oak, gracefully sited on 26.18 acres among charming gardens in a serene park-like atmosphere. Originally built in 1760, the classic two-over-two side passage home has evolved through a series of thoughtful additions that preserve its historic character while introducing modern conveniences. Wide-plank heart pine floors, Flemish bond brickwork, and hand-planed woodwork reflect its colonial origins.
The core of the home constructed in 1760 consists of a keeping room and den on the main floor with two bedrooms overtop. In 1804, a large main-floor parlor, a second-floor bedroom, and a basement were added.
In 1930 a primary suite with bedroom, large walk-in closet, and attached bath was added, plus an additional full bath, and a kitchen was added to the main level. This kitchen was later repurposed as a laundry room.
In 2001, a spacious great room was added, containing a well-equipped kitchen with custom cabinetry and a large island. This comfortable room includes a dining area and a family room with a gas fireplace. Off this room is a large screened porch overlooking the private parklike side yard. There is also a good-sized bedroom, an ensuite bath, and a walk-in closet.
The 26 private acres is a mixture of open land and woods with a barn, offering versatility for hobbies or agricultural pursuits. The property is just 30 minutes from Richmond and an hour to Charlottesville. The charming town of Goochland is nearby with a grocery store, a pharmacy, and restaurants.
