Perched upon a hilltop in the heart of Virginia Highland, this classic 1930s Cape Cod offers timeless charm with thoughtful updates throughout. Surrounded by mature gardens and original 1930s stone walls, the home enjoys a sense of privacy while being just minutes from neighborhood spots, including Orme Park, Piedmont Park, the BeltLine, and your favorite shops and restaurants of Virginia-Highland and Morningside Village.
Inside, original hardwood floors, doors, and vintage doorknobs blend seamlessly with modern renovations. The inviting family room features warm wood paneling along the fireplace wall, while the kitchen boasts a striking stone waterfall island, stainless steel appliances, and an open layout created during a full renovation. A custom industrial steel-and-glass front door, matching dining room patio door, and illuminated mirrors in every bathroom add a contemporary edge with a seamless nod to the home’s ancestry.
Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat, offering a second fireplace, windows overlooking the backyard, and a spa-inspired ensuite with a skylight over the tile shower, dual waterfall shower heads, and a walk-in closet with custom shelving. Additional bedrooms feature unique storage nooks that add both charm and function.
With 4 bedrooms and 3 baths in total, plus a laundry/mudroom off the kitchen and a backyard deck perfect for entertaining, the home blends everyday comfort with classic character. Alley access to the backyard combines convenience with a private, tucked-away feel.
This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Virginia-Highland history — updated for modern living, yet rich with character.
