Charlottesville Country Home
708 LOCUST AVE


JUST LISTED! Historic Craftsman in Downtown Charlottesville – A Visionary’s Dream! Located in the highly sought-after Martha Jefferson neighborhood of Downtown Charlottesville with alley access, this historic Craftsman-style home is waiting to be reimagined! Just moments from restaurants, live music, coffee shops, and all the charm of downtown, this property is an incredible opportunity for those looking to create something special. Step inside to find soaring 10’ ceilings (remove paneling with potential for even more height!), grand foyer, expansive room sizes, solid hardwood floors and vintage sliding doors that once led to a parlor—a true nod to its historic character. The home also boasts a metal roof, a welcoming front porch, and a yard that was once fully fenced (partially fenced now) for added privacy. With tons of off-street parking via alley access and space to build your own garage, the potential here is endless! This property needs a total remodel, and the seller has no knowledge of its condition—bring your vision and your offers! Location. Character. Unlimited Possibilities. Don’t miss your chance to transform this historic gem! Sold as is.
