Tucked away on quiet Valley Road just steps from the University of Virginia Grounds, this beautifully renovated 1920 cottage offers an exceptional opportunity in one of Charlottesville’s most desirable in-town locations. Set on a .24-acre lot, the property blends historic charm with thoughtful modern updates and the ease of true one-level living. The home has been extensively renovated, featuring new flooring and paint throughout, enhanced lighting, and a reconfigured layout that maximizes functionality. The updated kitchen showcases wood cabinetry, granite countertops, and all-new appliances, flowing seamlessly into the dining and living spaces. High ceilings and abundant natural light create a bright, inviting atmosphere, while the wood-burning fireplace adds warmth and character. Three bedrooms and two full baths provide flexibility for owners or tenants alike. A relocated laundry area adds convenience, and off-street parking enhances everyday practicality. Outdoor space offers room to relax and enjoy the peaceful setting just moments from UVA, Jefferson Park Avenue, and downtown amenities. Currently leased through May of 2027. Lease information available upon request.
