A rare opportunity to own a beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home on iconic West Avenue, one of the Fan District’s most picturesque and sought-after streets. This 1907 Victorian masterfully blends timeless architectural charm with modern comfort, featuring six original fireplaces (three with gas), intricate moldings, and original pocket doors. The stunning kitchen, designed by architect David Johannas, showcases custom cabinetry, high-end appliances, soapstone countertops, and a bright bay-window breakfast nook. The main level includes a welcoming foyer, spacious living and dining rooms, and oversized windows that flood the space with natural light, creating an open flow ideal for everyday living and entertaining. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a custom walk-in closet and a spa-inspired bath with double vanity, walk-in shower, and heated floors. Two additional bedrooms, a private office, and a full laundry room complete the second floor. Outside, the professionally landscaped rear garden provides a serene, low-maintenance retreat with a brick patio perfect for outdoor dining and relaxation. Additional highlights include tall ceilings, refinished hardwood floors, newer roof, updated systems, and a central AC system installed in 2022. Freshly painted interiors enhance this move-in-ready home. Ideally located just steps from the Fan’s vibrant dining, parks, and shops, and part of the voluntary Historic West Avenue Association—known for its garden tours, New Year’s oyster roast, and lively block parties—this residence offers the perfect blend of historic character and modern sophistication in one of Richmond’s most coveted neighborhoods. * Tax records state year built as 1920, but history suggests circa 1907.
