Property Description
Step into a piece of Richmond’s storied past with this remarkable home, originally owned by Elizabeth L. Van Lew. Completed by 1895, this three-bay, brick Italianate house was once a rental property for Miss Van Lew, a prominent figure in Richmond society known for her abolitionist views, Union sympathies, and daring espionage work during the Civil War. Situated in the heart of the St. John’s Historic District, this home boasts an unparalleled location directly facing St. John’s Church, where Patrick Henry delivered his iconic “Give me liberty, or give me death!” speech. The property’s prime positioning allows you to enjoy vibrant local history year-round—from summer Sunday reenactments of the famous speech to a front-row view of the Irish Festival in spring. During the winter months, the backyard offers a private sanctuary with twinkling lights visible from the south side of Richmond, and the home is perfectly situated along the route for the Christmas Candlelight Tour. Inside, modern elegance meets historic charm. The open floor plan welcomes you with a sleek, streamlined kitchen featuring a farmhouse sink, a dishwasher discreetly hidden with a panel, and three French doors that open onto a peaceful, fenced-in yard. Upstairs, the stunning primary suite features a luxurious bath, while two additional bedrooms and a hall bath complete the second floor.
