In Charlottesville's Locust Grove neighborhood — minutes from public parks, the Rivanna River and its trail network, downtown, and the 250 Bypass, with quick access to UVA, Rt 29, and I-64 — this 4-bedroom home has been renovated down to the studs. Everything is brand new: plumbing, electrical, HVAC, drywall, windows, and roof, finished with gleaming surfaces and beautiful glass tile throughout. The main level offers two bedrooms and a full bath, while the walk-out lower level — with two more legal bedrooms, a second full bath, and its own private entrance — easily lives as a full apartment, in-law suite, or guest quarters, or simply flexible space for a home office and more. A screened-in back porch overlooks the 0.22-acre yard with a storage shed and potential room for an ADU. A sought-after in-town location with green space at every turn — and nothing left to do but move in.
Locust Grove, located between Downtown Mall and the Rivanna River, is a residential and historic Charlottesville neighborhood with tree-lined blocks and a walkable grid. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Locust Avenue near the Locust Avenue–Market Street corridor, where front-porch streetscapes meet a steady hum of bikes and foot traffic. Early-20th-century cottages and compact bungalows sit beside small apartment buildings, giving the streets a layered, lived-in look. The Jefferson School African American Heritage Center and the Paramount Theater anchor nearby cultural calendars, while Ix Art Park adds a studio-and-market pulse. Sidewalk routes thread toward McIntire Park and the Downtown Mall for galleries, coffee counters, and late-night bites.
