Adorable updated one-level brick home in the coveted Greenbrier neighborhood, just steps from Meadow Creek and the Rivanna Trail, and convenient to neighborhood schools, shopping, and the 29 and 250 corridors. Sited on a lot beautifully landscaped by J. W. Townsend, this .40 acre property features stone walls, mature plantings, copious shade trees, and plenty of level lawn for play. Soak up nature on the spacious deck in the private rear yard that comes alive with colorful blooms every spring. Light and bright interior boasts a custom kitchen designed and installed by Dovetail, family room with deep bay window and gas fireplace, cozy sunroom, oversized dining, 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. Finished flex room in the basement would make a great office, exercise room, or playroom. This home offers a great balance of charming details such as original hardwood floors, built in shelving with glass doors, and crown molding that meld perfectly with the modern updates. Covered carport with easy access to the kitchen provides a convenient drop off spot for groceries. Plenty of storage throughout the house including a large cedar closet in the unfinished portion of the basement, and floored attic with easy pull-down access.
