Wonderful starter home or investment opportunity in the heart of downtown Charlottesville. This city townhome has received a lot of great upgrades and it shows! Recent cabinets and brand new counter tops in the kitchen and fresh paint and vinyl plank flooring in the living room, kitchen, dining room and half bath on the first floor (so new, its not even in the photos!). Upstairs offers recent carpet and three good sized bedrooms and a full bath. Out back is a large deck, perfect for grilling or entertaining and the exterior storage closet provides a great overflow space. On and off street parking, paved drive and easy access to several parks, 5th Street Station and I64 makes this the perfect place to call home.

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.
