Nestled in the heart of Oregon Hill, 808 Spring Street blends historic charm with modern comfort just steps from some of Richmond’s most iconic spots. As you step inside, you're greeted by an inviting living room filled with natural light from a stunning floor-to-ceiling window. A decorative fireplace adds warmth and character, creating a cozy atmosphere to relax or entertain. Down the hall, a quaint dining room awaits with a generously sized closet—perfect for additional storage or conversion into a flexible office nook. The kitchen is both functional and stylish, featuring butcher block countertops, gas cooking, and plenty of cabinet space. A full bathroom and laundry area complete the main level for added convenience. Upstairs, you’ll find two spacious bedrooms, each with abundant closet space—rare for a home of this era. Step outside to a private rear patio, perfect for enjoying your morning coffee or an evening unwind, plus a backyard storage shed for bikes, tools, or seasonal items. Recent upgrades offer peace of mind and energy efficiency, including a new HVAC system (2020), water heater (2020), and both upper and lower roofs (2020). Enjoy unbeatable walkability to Belle Isle, Hollywood Cemetery, and the James River Park System. You're just minutes from VCU, downtown Richmond, the Fan, and a growing selection of coffee shops, breweries, and local eateries. Quick access to I-95 and the Downtown Expressway makes commuting around the city a breeze. Don't miss your chance to own a beautifully updated home in one of Richmond’s most vibrant and walkable neighborhoods—where historic charm, modern comfort, and city living come together seamlessly.
Great value on this house. Close to VCU and downtown. The house is in great shape and ready to move in and enjoy living in a historic neighborhood in the city. The work done in the house has been in keeping with the historic character of the neighborhood. The house is attached on one side but has windows on the alley side to let in plenty of light. The backyard is low maintenance. It has a very sturdy shed that will provide extra storage space for larger items. Part of the backyard in covered with pavers and invites a table and chairs for outside dining. The inside of the house has wood, tile and pergo floors, ceiling fans, firplace mantles, a master bedroom with lots of closet space. Shows very well. If you need a 2 bedroom don't miss seeing this one.

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.
