Nestled in Fry’s Spring, one of Charlottesville’s most popular and walkable neighborhoods, this classic brick ranch pairs timeless charm with thoughtful updates. The 3-bedroom, 1-bath home offers 1,148 square feet of light-filled living space, with hardwood floors throughout the main level. The kitchen and bathroom have been tastefully updated, while built-in maple wood bookcases in the living room add warmth and function. Additional improvements include whole-house rewiring, plumbing replacement, extensive exterior trim restoration and upgraded cedar wood pediment, updated plaster and paint throughout. Solar, new windows, an EV charger, new roof, and HVAC system all enhance comfort and efficiency. The full basement offers potential for added living space. Out back, enjoy a regraded patio, level yard, chicken coop and handcrafted cedar shed—ideal as a studio or garden retreat. Walk to UVA, Fry’s Spring Beach Club, and 5th Street Station with ease. Perfect for first-time buyers, young families, or UVA employees seeking a move-in ready home in a well-established neighborhood.
