If I were walking you through 518 8th St NE in person, I’d start in the front rooms. The natural light is the first thing I’d point out, along with how much of the 1925 character is still there.
The layout works for regular weeknights and for having friends over, which isn’t always the case with older homes. I’d take my time in the sunroom, because it looks right out over the backyard and it’s the room I’d want my morning coffee in.
Then we’d head outside, which is my favorite part of the tour. The landscaping is mature enough to make the yard feel private, the deck is set up for dinner outside, and there’s an old boat shed I’d make sure you didn’t miss. It’s good for storage, bikes or a hobby that needs its own space.
It’s three bedrooms, two full baths and a half bath in North Downtown, a few minutes from the Downtown Mall and UVA, and the price just came down to $775,000.
Swipe through for the full walkthrough, and if you’d like to see it in person, I’d be glad to show you around.
