Timeless Beauty, Modern Comfort: From big city to brick Cape, a Charlottesville couple starts anew. After relocating from New York City in 2018, a young family with ties to the Charlottesville area found their vision of home in a charming 1930s brick Cape in the Venable Rugby neighborhood, just steps from the University of Virginia grounds. They had the good fortune of finding a house that had been beautifully renovated by the previous owners, but they had hopes of turning it into a layered, collected space, brimming with family, friends, and their beloved French antiques.
