About this home.

8/16 OPEN HOUSE CANCELLED

Tucked in the heart of Old SW, this home offers classic character, thoughtful updates, and one of the neighborhood's best front-yard views directly across from Highland Park.

Start your morning with coffee on the covered front porch, or wind down in the evening watching a round of disc golf. And the front porch is only the beginning--this home offers THREE covered outdoor spaces, including a screened porch just off the kitchen and a private covered porch off one of the bedrooms.

Inside, hardwood floors carry the home's character throughout, while the kitchen pairs timeless style with modern function. Custom cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, and SS appliances create a warm, well-appointed space that opens conveniently to the screened porch. Out back, your own little oasis awaits. A brick patio and koi pond create a peaceful retreat tucked away from the city, while the detached two-car garage provides plenty of room for vehicles, hobbies, or additional storage. Need even more space? A walk-up attic makes storing seasonal items refreshingly easy.

With newer HVAC and water heater already in place, this home offers the charm and craftsmanship you want in an established Roanoke neighborhood along with meaningful updates for everyday living.

Across from the park, surrounded by inviting outdoor spaces, and a short drive to all downtown Roanoke has to offer --518 Walnut Avenue isn't just a place to live. It's the embodiment of the Old SW lifestyle!
