Property Description
On a gas-lit street just steps from Libby Hill Park—where William Byrd looked out over the James River and named the city Richmond—this Queen Anne row house blends historic charm with modern comfort. Tall original windows, some floor length, stream light across wood floors. Gracious living and dining rooms are joined by a family room, full bath, and a distinctive triangular side porch. The kitchen, overlooking a private landscaped garden, balances period character with updates. Ceiling-height cabinetry, stainless appliances, and a stone island with rustic wood base provide both function and style, while a broad window keeps the space bright and welcoming. Upstairs, three bedrooms are accompanied by a private balcony and full bath. The basement, accessible from inside or the rear, includes a spacious laundry room, workshop, and storage. Vintage touches such as a clawfoot tub, pedestal sink, patterned tile, and beadboard wainscoting preserve the home’s character, while thoughtful updates ensure comfort. Perched high on Church Hill, the property offers winter city views and exceptional walkability: neighborhood restaurants, bakeries, and shops are steps away, with downtown, VCU/MCV, Amtrak, and major highways just minutes from the door.
