Beautiful brick 4/2 - Ready to Move-In and Priced to Move! Set on a gracious half-acre in one of the Rio area’s most established neighborhoods, this beautifully updated brick residence pairs timeless character with thoughtful, recent refinements. Refinished hardwood floors and a fresh interior create a warm, light-filled main level, while a new roof, new HVAC, and new windows offer genuine peace of mind for years to come. The main floor flows easily from living room to dining room to kitchen, anchored by a brick, wood-burning fireplace, with a primary bedroom and two additional bedrooms completing the level. Below, a finished lower level — with its own fireplace, family room, two bedrooms, and full bath — significantly expands the living space, ideal for multigenerational living, a private guest suite, or flexible future use. New ceiling fans throughout in 2025. Outside, a private deck overlooks a nearly level, tree-lined lot backing to a peaceful wooded buffer, a rare find this close to town. Ready for memories, the Woodbrook location places residents minutes from Rio Road’s shops and dining, with easy reach of downtown Charlottesville. A polished, move-in-ready home in a setting that rarely comes available.
