Spectacular end unit townhome truly combines the best of both worlds — city convenience surrounded by beautiful nature. The fenced backyard is adjacent to land in a conservation easement, and within walking distance to Riverview Park (with a playground, trails, and Rivanna River access), as well as the renovated Wool Factory (with restaurants, brewery, and coffee/wine shop). This home has a wonderful indoor/outdoor flow! You’ll enter into a cozy living room with fireplace that overlooks a private front courtyard, while the light and bright kitchen has glass sliding doors to a lovely back deck with a view to the woods. With 1,200 sq. ft. on the main and upper levels, and an additional 500 sq. ft. in the finished walkout basement, there is plenty of room for work and play! Three bedrooms and two full bathrooms upstairs, with a half bath on the living level. This well-maintained home has a new roof (2021), HVAC (2019), and sump pump (2022), and most of the interior is freshly painted. New windows in 2013. No HOA fees!
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.

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.
