Belmont House

Belmont House is close to free transport (to UVA every 15 minutes) which is even walkable & other buses, the city center, a 5 minute walk to the downtown mall, restaurants, nightlife, and family-friendly activities. Our historic neighborhood of Belmont also is home to several great restaurants, antique shops and bars only a couple blocks through this beautiful neighborhood. You’ll love my place because of the high ceilings, the comfy beds, couch set up around the Fire, TV and surround sound, porch swing, quiet neighborhood in walking distance to the downtown mall. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, families (with kids), and furry friends by arrangement (pets).

Belmont House is a beautiful, 1925 corner brick house with plenty of available parking. The house has been renovated throughout with new HVAC system, electrics and plumbing! The upstairs bathroom has a clawfoot tub and an enclosed steam shower spa with music! All bedrooms are spacious. Enjoy the 46" Apple tv or swing away the evening with cocktails on the porch. Come and live it in this historic neighborhood rather than out of the way, congested, expensive I29 hotel/motel land! Park your car for the duration of your stay!

Neighborhood overview
Belmont is a late 19th Century neighborhood. The neighborhood serves as a significant entrance to the City from Monticello as it is easily accessible to I-64 by way of Monticello Avenue (Route 20). With its rolling topography and setting, Belmont affords excellent views of both the Downtown and the surrounding mountains. Originally, the county estate “Belmont” was the prosperous farm estate of John M. Carr, the nephew of Dabney Carr, a boyhood friend of Thomas Jefferson. The Belmont Mansion got its name from the farm when it was built circa 1837 by the original owner John Winn. The neighborhood of Belmont grew with the building of the Old Belmont Bridge in 1905. This bridge stood until 1961 when the New Belmont Bridge that connects Ninth Street and Avon Street replaced it. The Neighborhood has a mixture of housing with a wonderful, corner convenience store and coffee shop nearby. In addition to the nearby pedestrianized Downtown Mall, Belmont Village also has a cluster of its own chic restaurants and antique shops. Both just 3 - 5 minutes walk away.

Getting around
Once arriving at the house, guests have the option of leaving the car and using free public transport. The downtown mall, which provides endless culinary and entertainment options, is a 5 minute walk. You can see the Pavillion from my house. Here guests will also find a bus station from which they can access the free trolley, which goes to the University of Virginia every 15 minutes, or all other bus routes. Continued use of the car is only necessary if guests would like to visit Monticello, the various hiking trails, or vineyards and breweries nearby.

Other things to note
I have run a successful b&b in Bath, England for over 20 years and moved to Charlottesville when my daughter attended UVA.
