Beyond those enduring elements, virtually everything else is brand new. No expense was spared, no corner was cut, and the result is a home that feels both classic and completely refreshed. Offering 1,638 square feet + 416sqft bonus area in the basement, the home combines timeless character with modern updates throughout. Improvements including a fully updated New Kitchen, New Full Bathrooms, new plumbing, new drywall, enhanced insulation, and two brand-new Trane HVAC systems. New Bella hardwood flooring in a hickory finish runs throughout, along with 9-foot ceilings and recessed lighting on both the first and second floors.

Upstairs, both bedrooms have private full luxury bathrooms and spacious closets, creating two true suites. As a bonus, the newly finished basement adds additional living space that is not only suitable for a bedroom, but may be ideal for a rec room, gym, media room, or flex space, and includes a new washer and dryer tucked into the laundry closet. Situated on a corner lot, the exterior offers a newly built front porch and a large fenced backyard with brand-new privacy fencing. Conveniently located near Richmond dining, shopping, parks, and downtown access, this move-in ready home offers quality updates, space, and location.

R-7
Single- And Two-Family Urban Residential District
The intent of the R-7 Single- and Two-Family Urban Residential District is to preserve and enhance the established character of older urban residential neighborhoods in the inner areas of the City. The district regulations are designed to reflect the urban nature of such neighborhoods as characterized by a mixture of detached and attached single- and two-family dwellings situated on small lots with narrow yards and modest setbacks. The district regulations, together with the supplemental regulations of this chapter, are intended to encourage continued improvement and efficient use of existing residential buildings and their accessory structures, while ensuring that infill development will be compatible with the established character.
