With three floors of living space, this brand new, impeccably designed home is an entertainer's dream. From the chef's kitchen featuring a custom waterfall bar to the two expansive decks, there is plenty of room for you and your guests to relax.

Right outside your door is all of the best that Charlottesville has to offer- with C&O Restaurant across the street and the rest of the Downtown Mall less than a half block away, you can spend your afternoon exploring the promenade and immersing yourself in the heart of C'ville. During the temperate months, be sure to head to the seasonal farmer's market on the other side of the block to grab your Saturday morning coffee and other local delights.

On the main living level, you will find an expansive living, dining and kitchen area and a covered patio. The wing located off the kitchen has two Queen guest bedrooms. There is a full bathroom in the hallway across from one guest room and the other guest room has an ensuite full bath, giving a hotel-like experience for your guests.

Perfect Charlottesville Vacation Spot
A+ experience! We loved the two (yes two!) open air rooftop areas with comfortable seating and great views. The condo had everything you could ask for in terms of amenities but nothing could beat the proximity to the Historic District which was directly across the street. My only regret is that we didn’t stay one more night just so we could hang out and enjoy the condo. I would not recommend for anyone who has difficulty with stairs, but other than that it is a perfect spot for young and old alike. Can’t wait to return!

Great space and location!
We stayed here with a group of friends and truly enjoyed the back patios and spaciousness of the home! Although there is no parking on site, there were very clear directions to park in the designated spot at a nearby garage. Best location in terms of walking distance to The Downtown Mall and West Main Street. We would love to stay again for future reunions! Our only recommendation would be for better cleanliness in terms of bathrooms, floors and surfaces.

Fun spot- embrace the train
Great location for a weekend getaway in Charlottesville. Beautiful and comfortable house. We knew in advance the train rolls by a couple times a day so was not surprised. It was fine for us but definitely rattles the house. A few things would put it over the top. More than 4 hangers for the whole house. Hooks in the bathrooms for towels. Couple sharp knives. Overall a very try nice stay and recommend it.

Great Location
This property is a great location to the mall. It is walking distance to eat and drink. The weather was rainy all weekend, but if you were able to enjoy the porches the rooftop is amazing. The owner has a great grilling set up and the views from up top are great for people watching!

The house was filthy, had to wash sheets as they had hair and stains on them. Kitchen was disgusting. Could not use coffee pot nor oven hadn't been cleaned in months. Had to buy detergent and cleaning supplies to mop floors and wipe down surfaces. Dust and hair on steps, crumbs on floor. Dishwasher does not work. Spent over two hours cleaning the place. Bathrooms were clean.

Nice place, but some issues
Overall it was a decent stay! Our main points: - place is updated and very cute - however, cleanliness was an issue. cobwebs everywhere on the floating stairs, corners, etc. - dishwasher was full of clean dishes, so we had to unload - coffee maker was missing the basket to hold filters so was unusable - exposed wiring on porch ceiling fan off of living room - wifi was terrible unless in the kitchen area - great, walkable location Lastly, the description mentions the train, but its significant. It runs at least once in the middle of the, night every night, and shakes the entire unit.

We enjoyed our stay, very cool condo. However it could some cleaning. Lots of cobwebs and dust in the corners and walls. The train wasn’t too bad, Saturday night it came at midnight and shook the building and Sunday at 545am! Other than that, decent location and comfy, especially the beds!!!

Great place located right where we needed.
Very cute place, the trains do cause some rumbling in the night, but it’s only once or 2X a night. Very good walking distance to lots of downtown attractions. Recommend it.

Great condo
We had a wonderful stay. The condo is in a convenient location to downtown, UVA, and Monticello. We really liked the covered porch off the main floor. Great floor plan (lots of stairs) and high end appliances in the kitchen and on the rooftop deck.

Modern and fancy digs in a great location
Stayed here with 5 other adults for a long weekend. The location was perfect (walkable to the downtown pedestrian mall) and the condo itself was modern and roomy with some great luxe touches (heated bathroom floors in the master! rooftop access! wine fridge!). My only complaint is minor: the listing indicated an ice maker, but it didn’t work. A bummer, because we had to run out for ice after arriving. I would stay here again, no question.

Must Love Trains
I really love this condo. You cannot expect perfection when you aren't completely in charge...so I had to clean out the DW from the last family...no big deal. The cargo train is the only real issue. The first time (9:40pm) it's cute/funny. Then the 2am and 5am trains pass. Each lasts between 7-10 minutes. Darn, I really like this place!!!

DO NOT BOOK
This property is literally 15 feet away from 3 sets of freight train tracks. 2 trains came through each night from midnight to 6:30am. The trains shake the whole building. The trains woke our 6 adults each of the 7 nights we were there. So don't book if you ever want to sleep. The first 2 days the heat wasn't working properly -mgmt finally just pulled out the filthy air filters and it got better. Still had to set to 80 to get it to 72. They did not replace filters bc they had to be special ordered. Parking was chaos. Told to park in adjacent garage and would be given garage door opener - never given. Then told we could park in the city garage 2 blocks down but that pass never worked either. All the lights and blinds are on high tech switches that we never figured out - it was hit or miss. The last day we discovered a leak under the kitchen sink that someone before us was aware of bc they had put a bowl under it. We called management each of the first 4 days we were there to get problems solved. Only one of them (out of 4) seemed to care whether they resolved the problem. It is a beautiful property with a promising location of near downtown mall but the train tracks next to the building makes it a poor choice.

Great condo in a wonderful location with fantastic outdoor spaces.
Other than one night trains ran between midnight and 6am and made the building shake. Also, called to report maintenance issues and never received a response. Checked out and still have not received a response.
