Classic Brick Colonial in Charlottesville's Fifeville Neighborhood — Value-Add Opportunity
Set on a generous, tree-lined lot just south of Downtown Charlottesville and minutes from UVA and the UVA Medical Center, 509 7½ St SW is a 1920s brick colonial with the kind of bones that are increasingly hard to find this close to the city center. A classic front porch with white columns and brick steps welcomes you in, while inside, original hardwood floors and a traditional layout offer a strong foundation for renovation or rental use.
Highlights:
3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms across approximately 1,318 sq ft
Solid brick construction with a traditional center-hall colonial layout
Original hardwood floors throughout much of the main level
Covered front porch with classic colonial columns
Rear wood deck overlooking a large, mostly-cleared backyard
Generous 4,399 sq ft lot with mature trees and room to landscape
Located in the walkable Fifeville neighborhood — close to UVA, the Corner, Downtown Mall, and 5th Street Station
The opportunity: This home shows the wear you'd expect from a century-old property that hasn't been recently updated — the kitchen, bathrooms, and some exterior trim/siding could use modernization, and the yard would benefit from clearing and landscaping. For an investor or owner-occupant willing to put in some sweat equity, that's exactly the appeal: a well-located, structurally solid brick home in a tight Charlottesville submarket where renovated comps significantly outperform as-is condition.
Whether your plan is a full cosmetic renovation, a rental conversion near UVA's massive student and hospital-staff housing demand, or a long-term hold while the neighborhood continues to appreciate, 509 7½ St SW offers a rare entry point into Fifeville at this price point.
