Set just steps from Riverview Park, this thoughtfully updated townhouse offers the rare combination of a fully fenced yard, a first-floor primary suite, and peace of mind you can actually feel. The main living area features vaulted ceilings that bring in light and volume, while the primary bedroom on the main level makes everyday living easy and flexible. Both the living room and primary bedroom will be freshly painted, and the built-in bookshelves will be removed—creating a clean slate for the next owner to customize the space to their taste. Behind the scenes, the heavy lifting has already been done. All original Qest plumbing has been fully replaced, along with all new windows and a new roof (2020–2021). The kitchen was refreshed with new counters and sink in 2022, and major systems have been updated with a new HVAC system and chimney cap in 2024. In short: the big updates are complete, the location is convenient if being close to the park is part of your lifestyle, and the next owner can move in without worrying about what’s next—just how they want to make it their own.
Almost near everything in this 3BR, 2BA home home in Woolen Mills close to Riverview Park, on the bus line, with a first floor master and a huge level fenced yard. New: paint, appliances, carpet, luxury vinyl tile, ceiling fans, lights, faucets, screens, blinds, and so much more. Truly in move-right-in condition in the City of Charlottesville! Close to two parks, Willow Tree, Beer Run, and everything that makes for life in the City.

R-2
Two-Family Residential Districts
The two-family residential zoning districts are established to enhance the variety of housing opportunities available within certain low-density residential areas of the city, and to provide and protect those areas. There are two (2) categories of R-2 zoning districts: (1) R-2, consisting of quiet, low-density residential areas in which single-family attached and two-family dwellings are encouraged. Included within this district are certain areas located along the Ridge Street corridor, areas of significant historical importance.
