Deceptively spacious and full of charm, this classic brick Cape Cod in popular Westover Hills offers more than 2,100 square feet of thoughtfully updated living space. Inside, you'll find beautiful refinished hardwood floors, big beautiful windows, fresh paint throughout, and architectural details like built-ins and a beamed ceiling that add timeless appeal. The first floor features a generous living room with a wood-burning fireplace, a formal dining room, and an updated kitchen that opens to a bright, inviting family room—perfect for everyday living and entertaining. A glass-enclosed porch and rear deck overlook the fenced backyard, ideal for outdoor enjoyment. A mudroom/laundry room just off the kitchen offers extra functionality and a convenient drop zone. Upstairs are three spacious bedrooms, including a primary suite with a walk-in closet and ensuite bath. A large hall bathroom serves the two additional bedrooms. This home offers significantly more square footage than many in the neighborhood at this price point. Just a short stroll to local favorites like Stella’s Grocery, Little Nickel, O’Toole’s, The Veil Brewing Co. , and Charm School, plus nearby parks, playgrounds, the Westover Hills Library, and James River Park access. Move-in ready with a newer roof and updated mechanical systems—this one has it all!
