4409 Hanover Ave Richmond, VA 23221

On a picturesque block of Hanover near Mary Munford, this charming cottage has so much to offer. Brick with cedar siding on the back and a newer roof (2015), this home has been thoughtfully updated over the years. A welcoming screened porch leads you in; once inside, inviting rooms flow one to another giving both an open feel and defined living spaces. Hardwood floors, soft neutral colors, French doors, a gas fireplace, plantation shutters, updated fixtures and a custom kitchen set the stage for a casually elegant lifestyle. Chat with the chef at the scoot up peninsula and fling open the French doors for great circular flow to an expansive deck for carefree entertaining. The custom kitchen (2020) features Quartz counters, gas cooking, stainless appliances, a deep sink and excellent pull out storage. The dining room adjoins both the kitchen and living rooms to punctuate the airy feel of the main living spaces. The first floor bedroom with barn doors for the closet and fully renovated powder room could serve many scenarios from guest or child's room to a den or studio. Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom with hardwood floors is bathed in natural light. Adjoining is a huge dressing room that could double as a work out space, nursery or home office. The en suite primary bath was fully renovated in 2020 with a new glass doored shower, new tile, new toilet and new vanity. The second upstairs bedroom also has hardwood floors, a roomy closet and a cozy eaves nook. The upstairs hall bath was freshened with a new vanity, new toilet and fresh paint. Outside, the front yard is enclosed with a picket fence while the rear garden has privacy fencing. A glorious deck beckons for al fresco dining and can accommodate a crowd. Excellent parking in front because of the wide street; behind the back fence is additional off-street parking for 2 cars and a large storage shed for bikes, lawn equipment and storage needs. In a beloved location close to shops and restaurants, this beguiling cottage will steal your heart.
