Open House Sat. 12-2pm. Beautifully Renovated Home with Exceptional Flexibility in a Prime Charlottesville Location. Tucked behind a magnificent row of mature hedges that create a wonderful sense of privacy and intrigue, this beautifully renovated home offers a rare combination of charm, versatility, and convenience, just minutes from UVA and Downtown Charlottesville. Thoughtfully remodeled over the past several years, the home has undergone extensive improvements, including a stunning new kitchen, beautifully updated bathrooms, numerous new windows, and a new roof with 6.15 kW solar panels. The first level features two comfortable bedrooms and a full bath, while the lower level offers an additional bedroom and the possibility of a fourth. Legally designated as a duplex, the property offers the exciting opportunity to easily return to its original two-unit configuration, making it especially appealing for those seeking rental income potential, multigenerational living, or a home that can adapt to changing needs. One of the property's most enchanting features is its exceptionally private, level, and fully fenced backyard with a 12' x 16' workshop with electricity, raised garden beds, and six fruit trees-peach, persimmon & cherry.
Barracks Rugby, located between Barracks Road and the University of Virginia Grounds, is a residential and retail Charlottesville neighborhood with mid-century apartment communities and a walkable shopping corridor. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Barracks Road Shopping Center entrance along Emmet Street, where sidewalks thread past local boutiques, coffee counters, and everyday errands. Architectural cues shift from brick garden-style complexes to newer mixed-use buildings edging the commercial strip. Ragged Mountain Running Shop anchors the area’s outdoor-minded retail scene, while The End Games adds a long-running tabletop culture hub. Green pockets like the nearby UVA Dell and Meadow Creek trails shape a routine of short walks and longer loops. Traffic hum stays close to U.S. 29, while side streets read quieter and more residential.
