3206 Monument Avenue, Richmond, VA 23221

Property Description

Built in 1926 and designed by noted architect Otis Asbury, 3206 Monument Avenue is a beautifully preserved home blending historic architectural character with thoughtful modern updates. An arched entry leads to a gracious central hall featuring raised-panel archways and original detailing throughout. The elegant living room overlooking Monument Avenue is anchored by a carved stone gas fireplace, while the richly detailed study includes a bay window and an original built-in telephone cabinet, a charming period detail. The chef’s kitchen features a Sub-Zero refrigerator, wine cooler, wet bar, and casual built-in dining area with direct access to the backyard, creating an ideal flow for everyday living and entertaining. Just beyond, the grand dining room is perfectly scaled for memorable dinner parties, complete with a built-in serving station and screened door that creates a seamless connection to the surrounding garden spaces. Upstairs, the primary suite features a fireplace and updated en-suite bath with a modern clawfoot tub, walk-in shower, radiant heated floors, and a wall of closets offering ample storage. The four additional bedrooms provide flexible living arrangements — one adjoining the primary suite ideal for an office or nursery, one with an en-suite bath, and two additional comfortably-sized rooms with walk-in closets. A renovated hall bath and laundry room complete the second floor. The professionally designed rear garden, originally conceived by landscape architects Anna Aquino and Meg Turner, was extensively reimagined in 2023 with new patios, walkways, irrigation, landscape lighting, and a gas firepit — all while preserving mature plantings and an exceptional tree canopy. Custom stonework winds through the garden to a handcrafted gate opening to the rear entrance, while a detached double garage provides parking for two cars. A rare opportunity to own an architecturally significant home offering timeless detail, exceptional scale, and beautifully updated living spaces.
