About This Home
As of March 2025The happiest house in Virginia Highland! Life is lived to the fullest at 989 Amsterdam. The walkability is incredible - located smack between Virginia Highland and Morningside Village. The privacy views and privacy are unparalleled. Views of the midtown skyline at dawn and dusk are magical and a constant reminder that you are in the the most idilic and quaint neighborhood, within a thriving metropolis. A fresh driveway and parking pad with room for multiple cars, above street level, are a rarity in the neighborhood and ideal for the safety-conscious. The house lives large with grand rooms and high ceilings. Light floods each and every room thanks to oversized windows and a skylight dormer. The professional-grade kitchen is a cooks dream. A six-burner range with stainless steel hood sets the tone for culinary adventures to come. The primary bedroom features a rare walk-in closet for the era of the home and a primary with clean lines. The secondary bedroom features it's own "step-in" closet and a bath accessible from the bedroom and main living are (great for guests). An architectural and light-filled staircase leads to a finished laundry room and immaculate unfinished basement - currently used as an office+storage and previously used for band practice! Rock on! Morningside Elementary can't be beat!
