Nestled in a row of stately Monument Avenue homes, this 3,800 sq. ft. Classical Revival beauty has New Orleans and Charleston vibes. Four sets of French doors on the first floor open to a mossy bricked courtyard that runs almost the property's length. Envision indoor/outdoor parties where guest flow in and out of the living room, dining room, and kitchen to outdoor dining and seating among lush gardens. Inside, the large entry hall and rooms make for a spacious and easy flow. In 2004, 3 North designed a classic kitchen to maximize light, storage, outdoor access, and a love of cooking for the current owners of over 30 years. The kitchen has honed marble counters, a large double-door GE Monogram fridge, a 6-burner Thermador gas cooktop, double ovens, convection microwave, dishwasher drawers, & a wine fridge. The three rooms in the unfinished basement offer plenty of storage for wine, decorations, etc. and has access through the often-seen Fan floor hatch! Upstairs there are 4-5 bedrooms on the second and third floors. A primary suite includes a room with three windows, a large en suite bathroom with a soaking tub and shower, and a walk-in-closet. There is a guest suite and a third room used as a Den/Study with a sweet balcony (French doors again!) that overlooks the garden. On the third floor there are two more bedrooms with a full bath. The house was designed in 1925 by architect W. Harrison Pringle, a well-known designer of homes and Richmond buildings from the early 1900s through the mid-century. Join this fun and exciting neighborhood with events like the Monument Avenue 10K, the Easter Parade, & many more neighborhood traditions like the Fan Holiday House Tour and West Avenue Garden Tour. Walk to some of the best restaurants Richmond has to offer and to nearby museums like the VMFA and the Branch Museum of Design. Monument Avenue is a national historic landmark district known for its varied ca.1900 architectural styles set along an allee of trees flanking a greenspace loved by neighbors and visitors alike.
