About This Home

As of October 2025

Step into timeless elegance at 202 North 32nd Street—an iconic brick rowhome nestled in the heart of historic Church Hill. Built in 1896, this stately residence offers nearly 2,700 square feet of beautifully preserved architecture and thoughtful updates, blending rich character with modern comfort. From the moment you arrive, charm abounds. The welcoming front parlour sets the tone with original hardwood floors, tall ceilings, built-in bookcases, a cozy fireplace, and Jefferson windows that bathe the space in natural light and offer a peaceful view of Chimborazo park. Just beyond, the formal dining room is the perfect setting for entertaining. The spacious kitchen features exposed brick, granite countertops, ample cabinetry, and gas cooking—ideal for those who love to cook and gather. The charming staircase leads to a library landing with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and a sliding ladder —perfect for a quiet reading retreat. On the second level, you’ll find two serene bedrooms, including a stylish primary with an exposed brick accent wall, plus a full hall bath and laundry area for added convenience. Two additional bedrooms on the top floor offer sweeping views of the park, along with a full bath featuring a classic claw-foot tub. Out back, a fully fenced yard offers your own private oasis—ideal for gardening, entertaining, or simply relaxing. You'll also enjoy peace of mind with recent updates including a new HVAC system (2024), a new boiler (2025), and a newer water heater—offering both comfort and efficiency. Located directly across from the scenic Chimborazo Park and just a short stroll from Church Hill’s beloved bakeries, restaurants, and cafes, this home offers the best of Richmond living. With easy access to downtown and I-64, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Richmond’s history on one of Church Hill’s most picturesque and storied blocks.
