About This Home

As of May 2025

Welcome home to this delightful 1920s bungalow across the street from Forest Hill Park! Bursting with vintage charm and modern comfort, this two-bedroom, one-bath beauty is your chance to live in one of Richmond’s most beloved neighborhoods—just minutes from walking trails, food, and a vibrant local scene! Inside, you’ll find a bright and welcoming living space featuring a cozy brick fireplace, heart of pine floors throughout, and loads of natural light. The flow into the dining area makes it perfect for casual dinners. The updated kitchen blends classic style with modern ease—featuring crisp white cabinetry, solid-surface countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a sunny breakfast nook that’s the perfect spot for morning coffee. Both bedrooms are generously sized with great closet space, and the beautifully renovated bath features timeless tilework and stylish fixtures. Step out of the kitchen to your own private yard—an enchanting terraced backyard that backs up to Reedy Creek. Whether you’re gardening, grilling, or simply enjoying the peaceful view, it’s the perfect spot to relax and unwind.
Big-ticket updates include a new roof, heat pump, and water heater in 2019. Gas furnace for the radiator system for cozy back-up heat and thermal replacement windows for added efficiency. And the location? It’s unbeatable. Explore Forest Hill Park monutes outside your front door with its trails, playgrounds, and Sunday farmer’s market. Walk to local favorites like The Veil Brewing, O’Toole’s, Little Nickel, Laura Lee’s, and Crossroads Coffee. You're also convenient to the James River Park System and the Buttermilk and North Bank Trails for hiking, biking, and river views. This isn’t just a house—it’s a lifestyle. Come live in the heart of it all and fall in love with Forest Hill living!
