1115 West Avenue, Richmond, VA 23220

Property Description

Originally constructed in the early 1800s, this remarkable home is believed to be one of the oldest structures in the city. Richmond folklore tells of its original location on the site where the Jefferson Hotel now stands, before being relocated around 1900, preserving a piece of the city’s architectural legacy. The move left the house slightly misaligned, adding to its unique and delightful character. The inviting front porch sets the tone, perfect for relaxing on the swing and enjoying the vibrant neighborhood. Inside, the warmth of pine floors carries throughout. The sun-drenched living room, framed by floor-to-ceiling windows, flows into a formal dining room with elegant crown molding and picture rail accents. The stunning kitchen renovation is a true showstopper, boasting a 14-foot island with a beverage fridge, custom cabinetry, quartz countertops with a waterfall edge, and attractive lighting. The entire downstairs has been fully renovated down to the studs, with all-new electrical, plumbing, and a tankless hot water heater. Mechanical systems have been thoughtfully modernized—HVAC ductwork was moved into the crawlspace for improved efficiency, and structural improvements provide both beauty and function. Additional main-level highlights include a stylish bathroom with a glass-enclosed shower, built-in storage, a cozy family room, and custom French doors that frame a picturesque view of the outdoors, offering a view of the brick walkway that leads to a rare two-car garage. Upstairs, you’ll find three spacious bedrooms, plus a bonus room perfect for a nursery or walk-in closet. A beautifully renovated bathroom and a convenient upstairs laundry room make daily living a breeze. At the end of the hall awaits a private guest suite complete with an office nook and full bathroom—a flexible space that could easily become a primary retreat. This home offers a truly unique opportunity to own a piece of Richmond history; thoughtfully updated for today’s lifestyle, it is sure to endure for centuries to come.
