Nestled between North Boulevard, Interstate 95, and Brook Road, Sherwood Park is a long-standing neighborhood with a charm unique to Richmond’s Northside. 1222 Whitby Road epitomizes this classic charm as a traditional cape cod with an all brick facade and slate roof. Built in 1949, this 2,127 square foot property has character around every corner, including original wood floors, crown molding, and built-ins. Don’t be fooled into believing this is an outdated home just because the original integrity is still intact. The owners have seamlessly blended old and new with a gorgeously updated first floor bathroom and kitchen. The remaining first floor is taken up with a bedroom/office, living room with fireplace, extra large dining room, family room, screened-in porch and utility room. Upstairs boast one full bathroom, and two large bedrooms, both of which have one standard closet and one walk-in closet. Storage is abundant in this home, with crawlspaces behind the dormers, an attic, a utility room, and two pantries. The backyard is fenced in with a shed and off street parking. NOW is your chance to own in the historic Northside of Richmond.
