Welcome to the classic Westover Hills home you’ve been waiting for. Situated on a beautiful tree lined street with sidewalks and diverse architecture, this charming circa 1930s brick home offers timeless character and appeal. Inside, you’ll find arched doorways, refinished wood floors, plantation shutters, and detailed millwork throughout. The spacious family room is the heart of the home, featuring a custom mantle and built in bookcases that create a warm gathering space. The kitchen was renovated in 2019 with white shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, subway tile backsplash, tile flooring, a pantry with sliding shelves, stainless GE Café appliances, and a new GE Café stove.
Recent updates include a new Andersen front and storm door, a split system added to the sunroom in 2024 for year round comfort, an expanded upstairs bath, and an updated powder room. Outdoor living features a recently added rear hardscape, fenced yard with gate, and large off street parking area. The oversized storage building, listed on tax records as a garage, offers strong potential and could be converted back to a functional garage. With the City of Richmond’s updated zoning permitting ADUs, it may also provide an opportunity for a detached accessory dwelling unit for guests, rental income, or multigenerational living. Enjoy one of Richmond’s most beloved neighborhoods, known for walkability and community. Stroll to The Veil Brewing Co., Vasen Brewing Company, Janet’s Bakery, TAOU Studio, Blanchard’s Coffee, O'Toole's Restaurant & Pub, Lucky AF, and Stella’s Grocery, then unwind along the James River trails and parks. This is Westover Hills living at its finest.
