There are homes that simply check the boxes, and then there are homes that make everyday living feel effortless. This home belongs firmly in the latter. Set on a level, landscaped lot in College Hills, this white brick residence with a slate roof offers timeless appeal paired with thoughtful, turnkey updates. The single level layout is intuitive and flexible, with spaces that feel distinct yet connected, designed for the way people actually live. At the center of the home, the eat-in kitchen opens naturally to multiple living areas, creating an easy, comfortable flow. Just beyond, a light filled sunroom with French doors extends the living space outdoors, making entertaining feel seamless from inside to out. Whether hosting friends or enjoying a quiet evening, the layout adapts with ease. Two gas fireplaces add warmth and character, while a separate den offers flexibility for a home office, media room, or additional living space. The bedroom wing includes three well proportioned bedrooms & three full baths, including a spacious primary suite with a walk-in closet and a sense of privacy tucked away from the main living areas. Practical details are handled with intention. The mudroom & laundry area just off the rear entry offer a natural drop zone for daily life. Irrigation & security systems, along with a whole house generator, add ease and peace of mind. Outside, the flat yard & paved patio provide an inviting setting for gathering, relaxing, and everyday enjoyment. Ideally located near Bandy Field, the University of Richmond, & Ridge Top Racquet Club, this home offers both convenience & connection.
