Nestled in the heart of Rugby Hills, this charming brick bungalow has been thoughtfully renovated by architectural designers and artists, blending character and creativity at every turn. From the curated finishes to the modern updates, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home (plus a finished basement family room flex space) is full of warmth and style. The main level features a classic wood-burning fireplace, original hardwood floors, and ample natural light from replaced windows. The kitchen, basement, and bathrooms were renovated between 2020–2022 with an eye for both function and form; think custom cabinetry, herringbone tile floors, sculptural lighting, solid wood interior doors, and playful color throughout. Downstairs, a finished family room with a kitchenette offers space to stretch out; ideal for guests, movie nights, or creative pursuits. Outside, enjoy a fenced-in and level back yard in a walkable neighborhood just blocks from Greenleaf Park, Walker Elementary, and the Preston Avenue corridor, all within Trailblazer Elementary district. Timeless yet creative, practical yet full of personality; this home is a rare find in one of Charlottesville’s most loved neighborhoods.
