About this home

The listing, in the seller's words

Welcome to 131 South Avenue, where updates meet location. Situated less than a block from the James River, this 2 bedroom home offers 12-foot ceilings throughout and a spacious living room with a natural flow into the kitchen and rear laundry area. The bathroom has been fully renovated and fresh paint and new carpet make the interior feel crisp and ready for its next owner. Major systems have been thoughtfully updated over the years, giving you confidence beyond the cosmetic upgrades. Outside, the oversized detached garage with power is a rare find and perfect for hobbies, storage or workspace. Enjoy being close to the beach, fishing pier and park.
