MID-CENTURY URBAN CHARM. Within 2 miles of UVA Health System and the Downtown Mall, this turnkey ranch is filled with natural light. A comprehensive 2018 renovation updated the roof, ductwork, plumbing, electrical, windows and doors, and a brand-new AC system was added in 2024, offering real peace of mind from day one. Step off the brick-paved front porch into a spacious living room showcasing beautiful bamboo flooring and crown moldings throughout. Cozy up around the wood-burning fireplace with friends and family, then gather in the dining room featuring chair-rail detail and opening to the outdoors! The bright white kitchen shines with crisp cabinetry and stainless appliances, while two comfortable bedrooms, a stylish tiled bath, and a great bonus room that easily converts back to a third bedroom round out the main level. Outside, your private retreat awaits: a sunny back deck, a sprawling level lawn made for fire-pit evenings, a shed with electricity, and a tiny creek tucked along the wooded edge of the yard for your quiet enjoyment. Coveted R-C HIGH-DENSITY ZONING allows apartment complexes and mixed-use buildings. Live in it, rent it, or build on it — the options are yours and the possibilities are yours to define. No HOA.

Listed by SOPHIE LIN• LONG & FOSTER - CHARLOTTESVILLE
Fifeville, located between Downtown Charlottesville and the University of Virginia, is a historic and residential Charlottesville neighborhood with a walkable street grid and a rail-side edge. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the 5th Street SW and W Main Street corridor, where coffee counters, small eateries, and storefronts meet steady foot traffic. The IX Art Park and its Saturday IX Farmers Market act as a creative anchor for the area. The Jefferson School African American Heritage Center adds a strong cultural throughline nearby. Housing leans toward early-20th-century cottages and porches, with newer infill along key corridors. Side streets feel quieter, while the Downtown Mall and UVA grounds sit just beyond the neighborhood’s borders.
