Nestled in the heart of Charlottesville, Virginia, 204 Spring St presents a unique opportunity for those with vision and creativity. This charming home, built in the 1920s, features two bedrooms and one bathroom within its 1,002 square feet of living space. Situated on a generous corner lot of approximately 5,097 square feet, this property offers both potential and possibilities for transformation. As a "fixer-upper, " it invites you to reimagine its layout and design while understanding that the home prices in Charlottesville are expensive and this one allows an opportunity to get in early stages of creating a nice home at this property. The zoning designation of RN-A, or Residential Core Neighborhood A, opens the door to exciting options for development. With adherence to specific site conditions, there is potential for adding a second dwelling unit while maintaining the existing structure. This makes it an enticing prospect not just as a residence but also as an investment opportunity in a thriving community. Location is key when considering real estate, and this property excels in that regard. Just moments away from the University of Virginia Hospital, residents will appreciate the convenience of nearby healthcare facilities.
Fifeville, located between Downtown Charlottesville and the University of Virginia, is a historic and residential Charlottesville neighborhood with a walkable street grid and a rail-side edge. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the 5th Street SW and W Main Street corridor, where coffee counters, small eateries, and storefronts meet steady foot traffic. The IX Art Park and its Saturday IX Farmers Market act as a creative anchor for the area. The Jefferson School African American Heritage Center adds a strong cultural throughline nearby. Housing leans toward early-20th-century cottages and porches, with newer infill along key corridors. Side streets feel quieter, while the Downtown Mall and UVA grounds sit just beyond the neighborhood’s borders.
