    1015 West Franklin Street is a Georgian Revival architectural masterpiece located in Richmond's Historic Fan District. Designed by renowned architect Marcellus Wright, who also designed the Altria Theater and the John Marshall Hotel, this home blends Gilded Age opulence with modern restoration. Built in 1910 for a prominent physician, its most notable resident was First Lady Violet Pollard, wife of Governor John Pollard and co-founder of VMFA. Set on a prestigious corner lot, the home offers timeless elegance with contemporary comfort. The versatile floor plan includes 5+ bedrooms, 5 full and 2 half baths, 6 fireplaces and an operational elevator (added in 1933) with curated spaces for formal entertaining parlors, a fitness studio, music room, and art studio. The chefs eat-in kitchen with high end appliances, oversized island, gas cooking, walnut herringbone floors, and a porch overlooking formal gardens flows into a casual sitting room leading to the elegant dining room. With gorgeous Palladian windows and French doors, marble fireplace mantel and impeccable millwork, the living room opens to the front porch with Corinthian columns. The third floor showcases the owner’s suite with a sitting room, office, walk in closet, laundry, dual baths, and a porch. The forth floor offers a private suite with rooftop access. The first-floor entry leads to the original doctor’s office with the layout providing opportunity for apartment-style living – ideal for multigenerational households, guests, or rental income. Additional features include dedicated off-street parking, a carriage house with a detached two-car garage, epoxy floors, and a 1 bed, 1 bath studio apartment, and an abundance of outdoor living space. Located just steps away from the best amenities of the Fan and VCU, this cherished home represents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Richmond history.
