This charming 1920 Colonial offers affordability, value and spaciousness close to Downtown, VCU & Shockoe Bottom, and there is quick access to I-95 and I-64. The full front porch, 9.5' ceilings, heart of pine floors, foyer with turned staircase and coal fireplaces produce a great old home vibe. Multifamily zoning gives you the option to live in the entire home or rent an apartment downstairs that quickly detaches from the main living quarters by closing two sets of doors and has it's own kitchen, full bath and bedroom. The owner has made a lot of improvements such as re-plumbing & rewiring most of the house. The kitchen and main waste lines have been replaced to the street. Both heat pumps were installed in 2012, and the water heater was replaced in 2014. Other features include vinyl siding, dimensional composition roof, replacement windows, insulated/floored attic, storage shed and heavy crawlspace vapor barrier. Cosmetic improvements will shoot the value of this spacious home sky high in an up and coming, quiet neighborhood. Don't miss this great opportunity!
