Home’s History

Located just a few blocks from the University of Virginia’s main grounds, hospital, and Scott Stadium, this historic property is one of Charlottesville’s premier residences.

The main house, a Tudor Revival home designed by the noted architect Eugene Bradbury, was built in 1914.

In 1928, the property was acquired by Orland E. White, the designer of the Virginia State Arboretum, who also designed the property’s impressive landscaping.

The estate includes a 1,100-square-foot guest cottage built around 1930, providing additional charm and functionality.
