About this home
Ideally located in Westover Hills, this surprisingly spacious home offers all the space, character and amenities that you've been looking for. A lovely tiled, covered front porch welcomes you into a warm and inviting interior filled with thoughtful updates and timeless details. The first floor features beautifully refinished hardwood floors, fresh paint throughout, updated lighting, and a unique and flexible floorplan with adjoining living room, den, and dining room. The living room is especially inviting, with custom built-ins flanking a handsome mantel and gas fireplace. The open eat-in kitchen blends style and function with stainless steel appliances, a Wolf range with exhaust hood, freshly painted cabinetry, granite countertops, and a butcher-block island. A charming first-floor bath features updated tile flooring. The fantastic primary suite is a true retreat featuring a stunning newly renovated tiled shower with bench, handsome cherry double vanity with a marble top and large walk-in closet with built-in shelving and storage. Three additional bedrooms are generously sized, each offering large windows and ample closet space. The hall bath features a freshly glazed tub and new floor tile. Convenient second-floor laundry. The large basement offers endless possibilities—excellent storage, a workshop, or the potential to create additional living space. Outside, the rear deck overlooks a spacious, fully fenced backyard with attractive hardscaping and plenty of room for gardening, entertaining, and relaxing. The garage features a new garage door and ample space for parking or a workshop. Walk to restaurants, shops, breweries, Forest Hill Park, trails, and the river, with convenient access to major highways just minutes away.
Forest Hill, located between the James River and Midlothian Turnpike, is a residential and park-centered Richmond neighborhood with a lakeside greenbelt and a walkable commercial strip. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Forest Hill Ave at Westover Hills Blvd, where coffee counters, small restaurants, and storefront studios keep the sidewalks active. Crossroads Art Center and Studio Two Three act as creative anchors, with The Veil Brewing Co. drawing a steady patio crowd. Brick Tudors, Craftsman bungalows, and mid-century ranches line curving streets under mature trees. Forest Hill Park and its lake set the daily rhythm with trails, open lawns, and weekend gatherings. The Nickel Bridge frames the edge of the neighborhood with a direct line to river views and city skylines.
