About This Home

As of August 2021

Owned by the former mayor of Richmond, this classically-styled 1929 home maintains much of it's original charm. Arched doorways lead to a step-down living room with a wood-burning fireplace & adjacent library. Multi-paned windows provide lots of light in the 9-room home that has a formal dining room, breakfast room & kitchen with a vintage gas stove & refrigerator. Mostly original with lots of improvement opportunities, the home has colorful ceramic tile, beautiful antique ceiling fixtures & hardwood flooring. Upstairs, two bright & good-sized bedrooms accompany the master suite that has a walk-in closet with built-in storage & a sun porch accessing a rear staircase to the private backyard garden. Above the detached garage, a spacious studio apartment for family, friends or income claims a large living room w/wood laminate flooring, lighted ceiling fan & huge closet and an eat-in kitchen with a sunny backyard porch. The low-maintenance corner grounds include cactus, roses & lemons.
