Charming, light-filled cottage in the coveted Rugby Hills neighborhood central to all things Charlottesville. This gem is a 5 minute walk to Greenleaf Park, within the Venable school district, and mere minutes from UVA, Downtown and Barracks Road.

Entering the main level, you are greeted with hardwoods throughout, a beautiful wood-burning fireplace, the inviting chime of the original vintage doorbell and kitchen Dutch door, a real piece of Americana! The spacious sunroom/ fourth bedroom with built-ins overlooks the secluded, fully fenced in backyard bordered by a winding creek. Mature Azaleas and Rhododendrons surround a perfect outdoor entertaining space, boasting a 582 sq ft stamped concrete patio with impressive stone fireplace.

NUMEROUS IMPROVEMENTS include installation of a brand new central A/C system, fresh paint throughout the inside and outside, new stainless appliances upstairs and downstairs, updated kitchens, and the installation of a brand new stacked washer/dryer on the upstairs floor. The flexible floor plan includes a fully renovated and separate lower level apartment with its own private entrance, large family room, full kitchen with brand new stainless steel appliances, bedroom, separate laundry room, full bath and a large unfinished storage area/work shop complete with shelving and work bench. This versatile space is ideal for an in-law/ au pair suite or income-generating apartment- one that has already provided the owner with 21 years of never vacant/steady revenue.

The cavernous walk around attic provides even more storage and is able to be easily finished into additional bedrooms or living area. This home combines a delightful blend of period details with modern amenities that should not be missed!
