Step into a rare piece of Charlottesville history. Built in 1895, this Greek Revival home retains its original character with a central hall, grand staircase and striking brick façade; features seldom preserved today. The property includes 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths plus a flexible basement apartment and a separate 2-bedroom guest house. Nearly an acre of landscaped grounds provides space for entertaining or quiet retreat. Located just blocks from downtown and minutes from UVA, this residence blends historic charm with modern livability in one of the city’s most desirable neighborhoods.
