1321 VANCERIGHT CIRCLE, WINCHESTER, VA 22601

Rare and unique opportunity! Be just the second owner of this modern, custom, architect designed, home unlike any other! This one-of a kind contemporary home sits on the slope of one of the highest points in Winchester. It was designed by renowned local architects, Reader and Swartz, and built in 2006 by Ritter Construction. The Handley Heights location, next to an old Winchester neighborhood, has the advantages of in-town conveniences, while offering open space and privacy. The home’s high elevation offers a rare opportunity for mountain views from an upstairs bedroom. From Vanceright Circle’s quiet cul-de-sac, walk just three blocks to Handley High School. The driveway curves to the garage and parking area in the back, with easy access to the main level entry hall. The exterior has contrasting materials which separate the wings from the connecting sections, with both red cedar and cement-board siding. The variable rooflines, deep-set eaves, and large windows combine elements of modern traditions. With its unique floor plan, the home is well-situated to take advantage of the hillside topography and the path of sunlight throughout the seasons. From the entryway, one wing branches into a tall living area, with high ceilings and beams, and another wing stretches to the two-story bedroom area.  There are solid wood custom-made doors with distinctive hardware throughout. Custom-built cherry cabinetry includes bookcases in the hall and living room. The flooring on the main and upper levels is made of oak. A beautifully handcrafted stairway is accented with cherry and maple wood and connects all three levels of the home. From the entry hall, enter the bright and open dining room and experience the sensation of height and volume. The kitchen features Wood-mode cherry cabinets. The granite countertops are made of water-honed black Cambria, with a leather-like finish. The kitchen opens to the sunny living room with multiple windows, a Regency ceiling fan, and a wood-burning fireplace. The lighting fixtures are made by Hubbardton Forge. Walk out from the living room into a large elevated screened porch, which offers 4-way breezes and a high ceiling with tree-top views. The porch has Cumaru exotic wood flooring. Upstairs, the master bedroom suite has a double bathroom and a large walk-in closet. The walk-out lower level, partially above-grade, has high ceilings, windows facing north and east, and a large finished and carpeted space. This works as a family room or a recreation room, or, with its full bath, it also works as an extra bedroom area. Outdoor spaces around the home complement the living areas. A limestone retaining wall frames a private rear patio and garden area.
