First time on the market since 1972! This charming 4BR, 2BA home is rich in character and ideally located just minutes from UVA and Downtown. Hardwood floors throughout and a wood-burning fireplace add timeless warmth and charm. The spacious kitchen offers abundant storage, an island with a cooktop, and plenty of room to gather. In recent years, the home has been thoughtfully configured into two rentable units, offering excellent flexibility or income potential. The 4th bedroom is currently set up as a kitchenette and can easily be converted back to a traditional bedroom. A large unfinished basement provides opportunity for additional living space. Outdoor living shines with a covered side porch and two expansive decks—one on the main level and one off the upper hallway—overlooking the backyard. Perfect for those seeking a conveniently located primary residence, multigenerational living, or an income-producing opportunity, this special home offers versatility, character, and location in one compelling package.
