Extremely rare opportunity to live on one of Downtown Charlottesville's premiere streets just a few scenic blocks from city parks, restaurants and shopping. 1920's character abounds in this charming light-filled home that offers original woodwork, moldings and hardwood floors, dramatic foyer with fireplace, tall ceilings, deep welcoming front porch, and a truly remarkable backyard oasis with swimming pool and wonderful entertaining spaces. 5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, including a first floor primary suite/bath, and an elevator that services the main level and partially finished basement. With a little creativity, the walk out basement could become an in-law suite, nanny space, or teen hang out. Beautifully landscaped yard features large shade trees, mature plantings, plenty of lawn, and three off-street parking spaces! So much to love about this gorgeous home as it is, with endless opportunities awaiting a new owner's personal touches. Offered for sale for the first time in over 40 years, this stunning residence presents a unique opportunity in an unbeatable location. Easy access to Main Street, UVA Hospital, UVA Grounds, Interstate 64, and the 250 corridor.
