Property Description
Welcome to your private oasis near the James River, where space, serenity, and nature meet city convenience. It's rare to find this much land, greenery, and privacy so close to downtown Richmond - here, you can enjoy the calm of nature while being minutes from everything you need. Surrounded by mature trees and birdsong, this beautifully maintained 4-bedroom, 2-bath home feels warm, bright, and inviting. You'll love the arched doorways, original hardwood floors, and abundant natural light that give every room timeless charm. The heart of the home is the kitchen and dining area, fully renovated in 2021 with new flooring, stainless steel appliances, butcher-block counters, and modern cabinetry. The open, sunlit layout creates an easy flow for cooking, dining, and gathering. Main level: a large, light-filled primary bedroom with its own door to a private section of the backyard, a second bedroom, the 2025-renovated bathroom with a family-size shower, and a large bonus room with a private entrance (ideal as a fifth bedroom, office, studio, or guest space). The laundry is also on this level in a cheerful sunroom, equipped with a large-capacity washer/dryer (2021) plus mini-wash. Upstairs: two additional bedrooms, including an oversize upstairs bedroom that offers exceptional space for sleeping and relaxing. Year-round comfort comes from four independent heating and cooling zones, letting you personalize temperatures throughout - a rare luxury that boosts comfort and efficiency. Step outside to your large, fully fenced yard, where mature trees create a peaceful sense of space and privacy - perfect for pets, play, gardening, or unwinding in the shade. At the back of the property, a spacious detached garage with two large openings and windows, provides room for parking, projects, or a future studio or workshop. A separate shed adds even more storage for tools, bikes, or outdoor gear. Garage and shed have electricity. And the location couldn't be better - walk to restaurants, cafés, grocery stores, and local shops, or stroll to the James River, Pony Pasture Park, and nearby wetlands. You're just 7 minutes from Carytown, 10 minutes from downtown, and 5 minutes from the highway, giving you the best of both worlds: urban convenience and natural beauty. ✨ Highlights: 4 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms Main-level primary bedroom - large, light-filled, with private backyard access Fully renovated kitchen & dining (2021) with new flooring Updated main bathroom (2025) with family-size shower Large bonus room with private entrance (flex/guest/office) Oversize upstairs bedroom 4 independent HVAC zones for custom comfort Sun-filled main-level laundry with new washer/dryer (2021) + mini-wash Large, fully fenced yard Detached garage (two big doors) + extra shed storage 7 min to Carytown | 10 min to downtown | 5 min to highway This is more than a home - it's a rare city sanctuary by the river, offering space, light, and peace in one of Richmond's most naturally beautiful settings.
