Cottage Lane

A New Buzz in a Historic University Community

This home is located in the highly desirable Rugby Road area within walking distance to the University of Virginia grounds. Surrounded by a multitude of homes known for their superior design, functionality, historic appeal , and architectural prowess, this home stands out. Designed by the local and highly respected David Kariel, this project provides a versatile and livable plan while maintaining a certain level of formality and grace his homes are known for.

The theme of the plan centers around a formal first floor entry that empties into a common great room with stone fireplace and open kitchen plan. The master suite is located on the first floor as a separate wing accessed off the front entry to the home, along with a large mudroom and secondary laundry center, formal dining room, and dedicated garage access. On the second floor, a one bedroom suite accompanied with its own dedicated bath, along with a second and third bedroom sharing a common secondary full bath, a second laundry room, and a storage/office room over the garage. On the basement level, a 300 sqft home theater room, a fifth bedroom/office, and a common area room with secondary kitchen and wet bar centered around a central fireplace with raised hearth equipped with an inset woodstove. Outside, a large elevated covered screen porch accessible from the rear yard and from the 1st floor mudroom just off the kitchen. A secondary on grade brick patio will provide additional entertainment area accessible from the walkout basement level. The home has generated a great deal of interest & praise from the Rugby Road & university campus community. Thanks so much for your support and encouragement along the way. We are certainly proud of our ongoing project!


The work of Evergreen is of very high quality and attention to detail. They are meticulous in followup for punch list items and problem solving. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
