Looking for more house, more yard and more possibilities without giving up convenient access to Richmond? 1688 Old Oakland Road offers all three. Set on approximately half an acre in Eastern Henrico, this classic brick home combines the character of an established property with a surprisingly versatile floor plan. Three bedrooms are located on the main level, while two additional rooms upstairs provide options for bedrooms, office space, hobbies, guests or storage. Outside, enjoy morning coffee on the covered front porch or spend the afternoon on the back deck overlooking the spacious yard. The detached two-car garage is a standout feature, offering valuable space for parking, a workshop, equipment or additional storage. A new water heater in 2026 and roof replaced in 2014 add practical value as well. And when it's time to head out, you're close to VA-895, I-295 as well as downtown Richmond and Rocketts Landing approximately 10 minutes away. Richmond International Airport is also about 10 to 12 minutes away. With space to settle in today and plenty of opportunity to personalize over time, this is a home with room for your plans to grow.
