About This Home
Pride of ownership shows in every corner. Offered for the first time since 1968, this Richmond Cape has been carefully maintained by the same owners for nearly six decades — and it shows the moment you step inside. Four bedrooms and two full baths, anchored by a formal living room and a large eat-in kitchen. Two bedrooms and two full baths on the main level, two more bedrooms upstairs. A late-1990s addition created the generous family room and the second oversized full bath.
The HVAC and water heater are approximately 1 year old, Roof is approximately 18 years old and in good condition. The electrical system was fully upgraded several years ago. This home is clean, solid, and move-in ready, with room to add your own updates over time and build equity as you go.
Outside, a large front yard and a fully fenced back yard with a tool shed/workshop wired for electricity. Off-street parking for several vehicles is accessible from a well-kept alley at the rear.
The location is a standout. A new walking trail leads directly to Forest Hill Park — 105 acres of shaded trails, a pond, open lawns, the historic Stone House, and the South of the James Farmers Market on Saturday mornings. The new $140 million Richmond High School for the Arts is opening just down the road on the former George Wythe campus. Quick access to Chippenham Parkway, Powhite Parkway, Midlothian Turnpike and I-95 puts downtown Richmond about 10 minutes away, with Chesterfield, Carytown and the Fan close by.
Dining and drinks nearby include Little Nickel, Y Tu Mama and The Veil Brewing, Vasen Brewing's Forest Hill taproom, Riverside Tavern, and Maldini's, with the Manchester restaurant scene just across the tracks.
Priced below recent area comparables. Homes cared for like this one do not come along often.
