Property Description

Classic Charlottesville charm, a private flat yard, and a beautifully updated home just minutes from Downtown and UVA. Set on sought-after Locust Avenue, this Cape Cod offers the character of an established city home with the comfort of extensive recent updates. Original hardwoods have been refinished throughout the main and second floors, with fresh interior and exterior paint. The renovated kitchen features new cabinets, granite countertops, appliances, and a movable island, while all bathrooms have been updated, including a walk-in shower in the primary suite. Outside, the rare flat, usable, and private yard is ideal for children and pets, gardening, or hosting family and friends. The fully renovated walk-out basement offers its own entrance, kitchen, bath, and two flex rooms or bedrooms, ideal for an in-law suite, teen space, guests, or rental apartment. Major updates include a new roof, new electrical, serviced AC and boiler systems, two basement mini-splits, and new fixtures, lighting, and hardware. A detached garage and covered parking for three vehicles round out this exceptional city property. A rare combination of location, charm, privacy, and move-in-ready living! Open house this Sunday 10/18 from 12:30-2pm.
