A rare opportunity—this beloved home is hitting the market for the very first time since it was built. Nestled at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this classic brick rancher offers incredible privacy on an unusually large city lot with a beautiful creek running along the back of the property. Enjoy being just minutes from Downtown Charlottesville, UVA, and major shopping while still feeling tucked away in your own natural retreat. Inside, you’ll find 3 bedrooms plus a non-conventional room currently used as a bedroom, 1.5 baths, and a cozy fireplace. The full walkout basement expands your living and storage options, and the huge rear deck overlooks the serene, wooded yard and flowing creek—a perfect setting for relaxing or entertaining. Major updates include a new roof (2019) and a gas furnace with 2.5-ton A/C system (2017). A fantastic Charlottesville location, solid construction, and a lot that’s hard to come by—don’t miss this one.
