Welcome to 530 W Water Street, a charming stone cottage in the heart of Brookland Addition—known to locals as “Brooklandia.” This classic 1950s home sits just across from Westover Park and the Friendly City Trail, with quick access to downtown Harrisonburg, JMU, Waterman Elementary, Food Max and so much more. Lovingly owned by one family for decades, it’s now ready for its next chapter. The main level offers three bedrooms, one bath, a spacious living room with arched doorways, and a functional kitchen that opens to a screened porch. Original hardwood floors and vintage touches throughout give the home character and warmth. The backyard is shaded, flat, and fully usable—perfect for gardening, play, or outdoor living. Off-street parking, a nice bonus in this neighborhood, adds extra convenience. There’s also an unfinished attic offering potential for additional living space. While the home needs updates—roof, kitchen, appliances, refinishing floors—it offers solid bones and a manageable footprint for a thoughtful renovation. It’s being sold as-is and presents an excellent opportunity for a buyer who values location, charm, and long-term potential in one of Harrisonburg’s most beloved neighborhoods.
