About This Home
Just doors down from Libby Hill Park in the heart of the St. John’s Historic District, this freestanding Danish-modern inspired home blends the character of its historic surroundings with the ease and comfort of modern design. Built in 2017, it reflects the scale and proportions of the neighborhood’s classic architecture while offering the rare advantage of newer construction, no shared walls, and private off-street parking for two cars — a true luxury in the city. The open first-floor plan connects the kitchen, dining, and living spaces in a bright, inviting layout with a convenient half bath, oversized windows, and direct access to the deck and easy-care backyard — perfect for entertaining, gardening, or relaxing outdoors without the upkeep of a large yard. Upstairs, three bedrooms and three full baths are thoughtfully arranged across two levels, offering comfort, flexibility, and privacy. Large rear windows capture wooded views that bring a sense of calm and connection to nature rarely found in an urban setting. Every detail has been designed for modern living — from streamlined finishes and fixtures to ample closets and practical storage that historic homes often lack. Located just steps from Libby Hill Park’s famous overlook and a short walk to Church Hill’s restaurants, cafés, and gas-lit streets, this home offers the best of both worlds: the charm of Richmond’s most storied neighborhood with the comfort, light, and livability of a modern build.
