Adorable cottage-style home on a quiet street in historic Chatham, VA—within walking distance to shops, restaurants, and schools. The main level is move-in ready (recently rented for $1200 per month), featuring 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and charming hardwood floors throughout. A full walk-up attic offers excellent potential for expansion. The basement includes a separate apartment with its own exterior entrance, living room, kitchen, bedroom, and full bath—ready for renovation after years of non-use. Recent updates include a new roof (2023) and furnace (2024). Private driveway. Home is being sold as-is and will not qualify for government-backed loans. A great opportunity to restore a historic gem in a prime location!
