Monticola

MONTICOLA (c. 1853) is a member of a very exclusive club. This fully-renovated pre-Civil War plantation home sits high on a hill near the southern tip of Albemarle County.

The home boasts almost 7,000 square feet, including a gourmet kitchen, master suite, formal double parlor and billiard room.

Original details, such as the heart-pine fl oors, 11 working fi replaces and two sets of pocket doors, were all retained during the renovation process.

The grounds feature a pool and 6 outbuildings. Two are original: the smokehouse and a larger structure that could be converted into a studio or guest cottage.

The 102-acre parcel with long stream frontage lends itself perfectly to equestrian or vineyard use. An additional 190 acres are also available.

MONTICOLA is part of Albemarle County’s rich history--let it become part of your history too! It is now available with 102 acres for $2,995,000. (190 additional acres also available--trades considered.)

rebout twenty years ago, Judy Johnson—former manager of Charlot-tesville’s City Mar-ket—bought a home in Charlottesville’s Woolen Mills neighborhood. Built in 1900, the home was on a generous lot. Johnson, now owner of Renaissance Woman

Flowers & Gardens, is a professional florist and garden designer and one of the attractions was the land itself. It was a double lot with an orchard on one side.

“I’d always envisioned creating and building a house,” she says, crediting her childhood when family members were involved in homebuilding. Her great-grandfather was a carpenter and her Uncle Spike was constantly working on houses. “He would bring things home from houses being ren-ovated and they would re-appear in the house he was developing.”

Johnson took a course on home-building course at CATEC [Charlottesville-Albemarle Technical Education Center] more than twenty years ago. She used that knowledge to build an addition for a bedroom and second bathroom on the exist-ing house and dreamed of building herself a cottage for her later years on the “B” part of the lot.

Finally the right moment arrived. “I knew I wanted a house that would fit in my neighborhood,” Johnson says. “I chose the ‘Winona’ because there are a number of them in Charlottesville. Once you know the style of those Sears houses, it’s very easy to notice them.”

The “Winona” was one of the more than 100,000 Sears mail-order hous-es that essentially came complete in a box on a train. The “Winona” was one of the most popular. Houses By Mail, a publication of the national Trust for Historic Preservation, shows the “Winona” originally sold in 1916 for $744 and was shipped until 1940 with the price rising to al-most $2000. Johnson’s new cottage, however, didn’t arrive ready-to-build.

One of the best parts about John-son’s building of her cottage, is that she found many things to reuse and recycle, lending it a mellow, not-harshly-new or mass-produced ambi-ance. Doing this also prevented qual-ity items from ending up in a landfill and was a great way to economize.

“I call it ‘Renaissance Cottage’ which relates to rebirth,” she says. “Not just the Sears house and fulfill-ing my dream of creating it, but also rebirthing many of the things in it.” For example, she collected used

interior doors and cabinetry from various sources while the “built-in” shelving in the upstairs is a former entertainment center, bought for $25, turned on its side and painted to match the walls.

“It’s a wonderful house,” declares current tenant Kem Spaulding. “It’s light. I tell people I have a brand-new old cottage.” Renaissance Cot-tage has two downstairs bedrooms. A room upstairs isn’t technically a bed-room because there is no closet, but it works as either an office or a spare bedroom. In fact, Johnson points out, the original Sears houses did not have bedroom closets.

“I love all the woodwork and the beautifully framed windows,” Spauld-

ing continues. “The kitchen has an old-style porcelain drain board and sink. I’m sure the kitchen cabinets were recycled, but they are all perfect and the bathroom has an old pedes-tal sink and a claw-foot tub. It’s just all in keeping with the look.”

Where to Look for Used Items Finding the right things takes

time. In fact, Johnson spent months trolling for the things she needed. “You can’t just walk into a place and expect to find exactly what you want in one day,” she points out. In Richmond, she often browsed both S. B. Cox Demolition and Caravati’s Architectural Salvage, which has a di-verse collection of items—including the cottage’s sink and bathtub.

She was also a regular at the Habi-tat ReStore at 1221 Harris Street in Charlottesville and when she was out of town she’d stop by similar stores in Richmond, Staunton or Lynchburg. Habitat ReStores are retail outlets selling quality used and surplus build-ing materials ranging from new floor-ing to old doors and odd lots of tile or paint and tools. They also offer home

furnishings such as furniture, rugs, appliances and plumbing fixtures as well as other items which are sold at a fraction of usual retail prices.

Materials are usually donated from building supply stores, contrac-tors, demolition crews and individu-als who wish to support their local Habitat. Proceeds help local affiliates fund the construction of Habitat houses within the community.

While stores have some paid em-ployees, Habitat volunteers help to keep costs low. In addition to raising funds, ReStores protect the environ-ment by re-channeling usable materi-als into additional life. For informa-tion on Habitat ReStore locations and hours in Virginia, visit www.habitatvirginia.org.

Charlottesville’s Habitat store is the perfect example of a place to find a wide variety of both new and used items. There is an always-available stock inventory including new and used windows and doors, tile, floor-ing, lock sets, furniture, cabinetry, lamps, paint and much more.

Then there is the one-of-a-kind inventory which changes constantly

redepending on donations. Recent one-of-a-kind items included an in-side dog gate, a metal bunk bed frame, new lighting fixtures, name-brand all-wood kitchen cabinets in several styles and sizes and new furniture. Other stock includes a variety of previously used plumbing fixtures (but sinks don’t fade or shrink, after all) in vari-ous styles and colors, desks, shelving, appliances, ceiling fans, drawer pulls—the list goes on and on.

The local website at www.cvilleha-bitat.org lists inventory and weekly specials. Recent specials included 20 percent off all dishwashers, man-tels and new paint accessories. Users may also sign up to receive weekly e-mailed news of special sales and in-ventory changes.

In Charlottesville, Circa at 1700 Allied Street and Possessions Recy-cled just across the way at 1713 Allied Street are just down the road from the Habitat Store and are eminently browse-able. The Salvation Army Store at 604 Cherry Avenue is also a place to visit. In fact, this is where Johnson forked over the $25 for the entertainment center now “built-in” at her cottage.

Yard sales, moving sales and es-tate sales also provide good hunting grounds. Even curbsides yield possi-bilities. “I found an old ‘New Home’ brand, very early treadle sewing ma-chine on the street near a place where I garden,” she confides. “It’s now a little table in the bathroom waiting to be refinished.”

How to Use “Used Stuff”Recycling old pieces was of special

interest to Johnson. For instance, she pounced on an interesting old door with glass panes, designating it for a bathroom door and replacing the glass with mirrors on both sides.

“It takes time and energy to re-use things,” Johnson cautions. She found a wonderful sturdy front door, but its glass didn’t match the lines of the house and her made-to-order win-dows. “I found a Norwegian carpenter in Lynchburg who reworked the door and also replicated the woodwork of the 1920s in the cottage,” she says. “The door was not expensive, but then there was the work involved.”

Older architectural features lend real personality to a home and of-ten homeowners can use some elbow grease to strip paint, sand and refin-ish. Others may prefer to utilize the item in its “distressed” state. Take an old mantel, for instance. It can serve as a mantel, of course, but also as a window frame, shelving or, with in-teresting added hooks, a coat rack.

Old windows may not be as effi-cient as modern double-paned win-dows, but when installed in an inside wall, they can serve as a pass-through from kitchen to dining room or bring light into dark interior rooms. In a bathroom, an interesting old window can frame a mirror. In the bedroom, a large window can serve as a head-board with wooden panels replacing panes of glass. Windows can also be

used for tabletops, to create a cold frame or even a mini-greenhouse.

Old doors are frequently made of fine wood—often unavailable to-day except in high-priced custom work—which can be refinished to use as countertops, vanities, tables, desks, headboards or even as doors. They also can become room dividers —either as a solid wall or as a visual separation. Several old doors can be

hinged together as a moveable screen. They can be suspended horizontally as a room divider or fastened hori-zontally against a wall to provide ar-chitectural interest. When shopping, be aware that old doors often are not the standard sizes of today’s typical hollow-cores.

RepurposingThe classic re-purposing is prob-

ably those first-apartment brick-and-board bookshelves. Or the table made with the old sewing machine legs.

“I had two wonderful antique stained-glass windows with no place to put them,” says Charlottesville resident Dell Erwin. Eventually she and her husband suspended one from the ceiling to provide a visual divide between the open-style living room and kitchen. The other became a door for a custom-built cabinet with an interior cabinet light bring-ing the old window to glowing life.

And it’s not just homes that are candidates for re-purposed items. Spaulding, the tenant in the cot-tage, opened Java Dragon, her Charlottesville coffee house, last June. “I got all my equipment on Craig’s List or eBay,” she says.

Habitat, she notes, was the source of “door knobs, sinks, shutters and a lot of paint.” She had her eye on one sink’s faucet, so she removed it, then re-donated the sink back to Habitat. She cut the shutters in half to serve as café doors to the kitchen area. And she painted just about ev-erything in sight.

“The place is all about comfort and I didn’t want some mass-pro-duced furnishings,” she adds. So she headed to Circa where she furnished her place in one day with tables, chairs and couches. “It’s all very styl-ish and unique.“

A Tie to the Past“There’s something about the care

with which these things were made,” homebuilder Johnson says about the things she has re-employed in her Renaissance Cottage. “There’s the coziness of sharing something that other people used. I wonder about the people who washed dishes in this sink and looked out these windows. Things weren’t done cheaply then and I’m still valuing the craftsman-ship which reflects the tradition of real workmanship.”

Frequent contributor Marilyn Pribus and her husband once combined a piece of driftwood (complete with barnacles) with four no-hands door handles from a demol-ished hospital in Monterey, California, to create a handsome wall-hung coat rack.

Older architectural features lend

real personality to a home and

often homeowners can use some

elbow grease to strip paint, sand

and refinish. Others may prefer

to utilize the item in its

“distressed” state.

Whether it’s summer or winter, if your home is “leaking” energy it’s costing you money. Feel-ing cold walls, or

air rushing through windows and outlets are obvious signs of leakage, but if you want an accurate diag-nosis of where your house is ailing, call in an energy auditor—a specialist trained in providing a comprehensive home energy checkup. He or she will do a series of tests and inspections to find out where your house could be more efficient and thus save you en-ergy and money, besides making you more comfortable.

Home energy assessments ideally are performed by a Building Perfor-mance Institute Certified Building Analyst (BPI BA). These individuals have had special building science training and testing to earn this Cer-tification. LEAP (Local Energy Alli-ance Program)—a community-based non-profit in Central Virginia that provides local residents and prop-erty owners with a one-stop shop of who to call, what to do, and how to pay for it when it comes to creating a more comfortable, efficient and af-fordable home or building—requires every assessment done in its Home Performance with ENERGY STAR

program, be completed by a certified BPI BA.

Using diagnostic tests, an energy auditor will provide you with a report that lists areas where improvements can be made to save you energy and money. Using software to model your home’s energy use, the auditor will prioritize steps to reduce those costs and give you the information you need to decide which improvements you want to make and when.

With 24 years in the business, Al-bemarle Heating & Air is a certified contractor for LEAP and has the BPI BA designation. Staff members are not only experts in home energy as-

sessments, but because they are also specialists on the equipment and duc-twork side, they provide homeowners with a more comprehensive evalua-tion. “What we do a little differently than your typical assessment is to ac-tually run a heating & cooling load so we can determine if your equipment is properly sized,” said Ralph Sachs, General Manager.

Sachs, assisted by three other mem-bers of his team, came to my home to do an assessment. They spent nearly four hours examining every aspect of my home’s energy issues, starting with a series of questions to deter-mine why I wanted the assessment. Was it because I wasn’t comfortable? Were my energy costs too high? Was I concerned about the efficiency of my appliances?

Once those questions were an-swered, Sachs and his team began the assessment. They measured the house, performed visual inspec-tions, both inside and out, looking for problems around walls, joints and under the eaves to make sure the home had a tight fit. Sachs went into the attic to check the condition of the insulation and air barrier. The team inspected holes where electri-cal lines pass through to make sure they were sealed and they checked the ductwork to make sure there was a tight fit with the connections.

“The duct system is one area that most people ignore,” said Sachs. “There are times we’ve told people don’t waste your money on equip-ment unless it’s broken, but fix your ductwork.”

With health & safety being the #1 issue addressed by the BA, they checked both the hot water heater and gas furnace for proper draft and carbon monoxide levels. Thankfully, all passed the test.

The blower door test was the most dramatic and fun of all the tests. All the windows and doors were closed and a special fan was installed in the front door to depressurize the house. The fan sucked air out of the house, allowing outside air to rush into the home through all those openings you didn’t know about. With the windows and doors closed and the fan running, leaks were easy to spot.

“For every unit of conditioned air going out of your house an equal amount of hot or cold air is coming in that you have to heat or cool,” said Sachs.

With the blower door test and the use of the thermal imaging camera, you get a clear picture of where you’re losing energy and surprisingly, it isn’t always through the windows.

“Typically people first want to re-place the windows, but if you are look-ing to get the biggest bang for your buck, unless your house is really old, the windows may not be the best place to put your investment,” said Sachs.

Using a thermal imaging camera, Sachs went around the house, shin-ing the laser on the walls to get a reading. Red indicated there wasn’t a draft. “If you see blue, there is some infiltration or gaps in the insulation,” said Sachs. “The big culprits are sof-fits because often there is no drywall behind them, so they’re open to the outside and show up blue through the camera.”

Recessed lighting fixtures are big energy suckers as well, not only be-cause air is lost through the canister, but also because if they use incan-descent bulbs, they’re using a lot of energy. The same is true for all the lighting fixtures in your home.

“When the assessment is over, I take all the measurements and test results, enter them into a spreadsheet that we use to determine the estimat-

ed energy savings based on the improvements you make,” said Sachs.

Then it’s pretty much up to the homeowner of what to do with that in-formation.

“You can have the as-sessment done to acquire information, or you can have it done because you’ve decided you’re go-ing to spend $5000 and you want to know where’s the best place to spend it,” said Sachs. “That should be the focus.”

For those who want to make improvements, there are financial pro-grams such as the Pow-erSaver Loan from the UVa Community Credit Union, which comes with zero percent interest for five years. LEAP’s Home Perfor-mance with ENERGY STAR program also offers rebates provided qualify-ing contractors do the work

The average cost of a full-house energy assessment for a 2400 square-foot home is around $495, plus $25 for each of its combustible appli-ances. Even if you intend to sell your home, having the energy assessment

certification is a plus with buyers. “A certificate goes along with the

Home Performance with ENERGY STAR assessment program,” said Sachs. “With it, you can say you’ve got your house up to this level.”
