There's no other way to say it: price, location, AND space! Directly across from Rives Park, minutes to I-64, the Wool Factory, all things in the Belmont and Woolen Mills neighborhoods. This attached 3 bedroom, 2 full-bath home lives large with a partially fenced back yard, off-street parking, and first-floor owner's suite. The front of the home with its sweet little courtyard, and the back patio adjacent to the grassy backyard extend the inside to the outside. Bedrooms and a full bath on each floor open possibilities for all kinds of living situations. The full kitchen is a classic, efficient galley style with plenty of counter space and newer stainless appliances. Separate dining area adjoins the kitchen and is open to the living room with its cathedral ceiling and wood-burning fireplace. The vaulted ceilings give this home a very light and spacious feel. Open staircase to the second floor with 2 bedrooms and a full bath plus a real laundry room with space for storage and supplies. Washer and dryer convey. Extra storage in a closet under the stairs. Brand new roof!

Doesn't look like much from the road, but nicely done and open on the inside. Primary bedroom has only rear exit in the house. Multiple types of flooring, but none is off-putting. Great view of Carter Mtn. that would get better in winter.

Multifamily Residential Districts
The purpose of the multifamily residential zoning district is to provide areas for medium- to high-density residential development. The basic permitted use is medium-density residential development; however, higher density residential development may be permitted where harmonious with surrounding areas. Certain additional uses may be permitted, in cases where the character of the district will not be altered by levels of traffic, parking, lighting, noise, or other impacts associated with such uses. There are three categories of multifamily residential zoning districts: (1) R-3, consisting of medium-density residential areas in which medium-density residential developments, including multifamily uses, are encouraged;
