About This Home
This beautifully restored Victorian residence masterfully combines historic charm with modern luxury. Completely renovated from top to bottom in 2020, and the interior was freshly painted this summer. This home offers timeless elegance and thoughtful updates throughout. For qualified buyers, a 2020 VA mortgage that is assumable by veterans and non-veterans, with an incredible interest rate, presents a rare and valuable opportunity.
As you step onto the large composite front porch and enter the spacious foyer, you will notice a welcoming fireplace. Off the foyer is the dining room, which also features a fireplace and a barn door, flowing seamlessly into the kitchen. The striking chef’s kitchen boasts marble countertops, a tile backsplash, a large island, white cabinetry, and GE Cafe appliances, including a gas range and an eat-in area. The kitchen seamlessly connects to a spacious family room that opens to the backyard. It also includes a powder room and a mudroom. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite features a luxurious walk-in closet and a spa-like bathroom, which boasts a large marble shower and a marble-topped double vanity. The upper level is completed by three additional bedrooms—two of which have fireplaces—a full bathroom with a marble-topped double vanity and a tub/shower, as well as a well-appointed laundry room equipped with cabinets and a folding station. The home was completely gutted, and the renovation was finished in 2020. Upgrades include dual-zone HVAC, new plumbing, electrical work, ductwork, and siding.
Step outside to the oversized backyard, where you can enjoy the newly added pergola over the patio—perfect for outdoor dining or relaxing evenings—along with a convenient storage shed. Ample off-street parking is available behind the home.
Nestled in the Woodland Heights neighborhood near downtown, close to James River Park, Laura Lee's, and WPA Bakery. This is a rare opportunity to own a turnkey Victorian gem in a prime location.
