About This Home

As of May 2025

Set on over half an acre on one of UVA?s most sought-after streets, 26 University Circle offers location, flexibility, and income potential. The main level features a spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom unit with a fantastic back deck overlooking the private backyard. Below are two 1-bedroom/1-bath apartments that generate reliable rental income. Live upstairs and rent the lower levels, lease all three, or reimagine the entire property to suit your vision. There?s ample off-street parking, and the home has benefited from thoughtful maintenance and upgrades within the last five years?inside and out. Exterior improvements include extensive tree work, full exterior painting (2021), and back deck power washing and staining (2025). Inside, the upstairs unit was refreshed with new white oak flooring, stainless steel appliances, updated lighting, and a remodeled hall bathroom?all in 2021. Apt B received a new ducted HVAC system with air scrubbers (2021), fresh paint, lighting, a new vanity, and updated flooring (2023). Apt C also received fresh paint and a new HVAC system in 2021. Floors plans reflect the upper level only. A rare opportunity in an unbeatable location near the University. Zoned RA
