13404 Essex Street

Tucked away on three beautifully landscaped acres on a quiet, no-through street, this one-of-a-kind custom home offers exceptional privacy, distinctive architecture, and spacious indoor and outdoor living, just minutes from downtown Culpeper. Far from a cookie-cutter home, the property features mature trees, expansive lawns, and seasonal mountain views. Offering approximately 4,842 square feet, the home features a main-level primary suite, formal living and dining rooms, family room, library/music room, private office, and a dramatic two-sided gas fireplace. Large windows and French doors fill the home with natural light, while the kitchen offers GE Profile appliances and generous cabinetry. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms with a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. A standout feature is the fully equipped, connected private apartment with its own entrance, kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom, laundry, and the option of a dedicated garage. Ideal for multigenerational living, guests, or potential rental income. Outdoor living and entertaining are equally impressive, with multiple Trex decks, a screened porch, and beautifully landscaped grounds. The current owners completely rebuilt the patio surrounding the outdoor stone fireplace and added two retaining walls, a new circular fire pit and gathering area, connecting gravel walkway, and extensive landscape lighting. Nearly $90,000 has been invested in improvements over the past three years, including the outdoor renovations, new hardwood flooring, a completely renovated powder room with a custom marble sink, two brand-new water heaters, garage floor coating, and security enhancements with exterior cameras. Though the original structure was built in 1975, extensive additions, which make up most of the living space, were completed in 2003. Additional features include a three-car garage, circular driveway, four-zone HVAC, newer roof, whole-house water filtration, and updated windows and exterior doors. Enjoy the privacy of country living with convenient access to downtown Culpeper and routes toward Northern Virginia and Charlottesville.
