**Multiple Offers Received - Seller Reviewing 10a Sat 2/7** This charming brick home in Roanoke, VA with a detached single-car garage offers thoughtful updates where they matter most while blending classic character with modern convenience. Major improvements include a renovated kitchen, a 2023 HVAC system (with a fully functioning natural gas boiler for backup heat), updated windows, an updated electrical panel, a sewer line replacement in 2020, and a new natural gas water heater installed in 2025. The roof and gutters were replaced in 2015, providing additional peace of mind.
The fully fenced backyard showcases an English-style garden with established plantings and backs up to Oak Street, allowing convenient rear parking and easy access in addition to the paved driveway. Just outside the kitchen door, a paved patio offers a peaceful, tucked-away outdoor retreat. Framed by the home's L-shaped design and a retaining wall built into the hillside, the space feels private and sheltered - perfect for morning coffee or relaxing evenings surrounded by the garden. Inside, the home is designed for comfortable, everyday living with flexible bonus space and a half bath upstairs. A cedar closet upstairs doubles as a unique entry to a fun bonus area that works well for storage, a play space, or even a cozy pet nook.
The basement provides excellent storage and features what may be one of Roanoke's best-preserved historic coal rooms - a charming nod to the home's character and history.
Convenience and outdoor lifestyle are highlights of this location. Groceries, restaurants, and shopping are just minutes away, while Fishburn Park and the Murray Run Greenway provide easy access to trails, recreation, and green space. This home blends character, updates, and location and is ready for its next owner to make it their own.
