3117 Monument Avenue, Richmond, VA 23221

Property Description

Looking for your architectural gem in the museum district? Don't miss this rare opportunity to own one of the iconic Carl Lindner “storybook” homes in the 3100 block of Monument Avenue. This 1926 “Hollywood” Tudor, one of only nine designed by Lindner on this historic stretch, offers distinctive architectural character, thoughtfully updated for modern living while preserving its original integrity. The home features a spacious primary suite with walk-in closet and en suite bath, as well as a separate guest suite with private bath. A study/den with custom built-ins provides ideal space for a home office or library. The full basement offers exceptional storage and flexibility. Period-correct Marvin windows, original refinished flooring, and detailed finishes reflect the home's architectural heritage. Recent improvements include a full renovation of the guest bath (2021) and the primary bath (2023), updated powder rooms, professional landscaping, and complete stucco and trim restoration (2024). Mechanical systems have been comprehensively updated: Lennox air conditioning (2018), Rheem gas boiler, upgraded electrical panel, new hot water heater, gas fireplace with remote ignition, Nest-controlled climate, and integrated security and home automation. A private city garden offers a peaceful retreat with well-designed outdoor space. Notably, the home fronts on Monument Avenue and backs to West Franklin Street, eliminating alley access and providing added security and access to more parking. Recognized for its architectural significance and level of care, the home was featured on the Museum District Mother’s Day House and Garden Tour in 2023. Ideally located in the heart of the Museum District, this residence presents a rare blend of architectural pedigree, modern comfort, and exceptional care, an offering seldom available on Monument Avenue. Don't let this opportunity pass you by.
