Charming, updated, and full of potential—welcome to 2005 Boston Ave! Nestled in Richmond’s Southside and surrounded by exciting renovations and new construction, this home offers both character and opportunity. From the moment you arrive, the classic picket fence and spacious front porch set the tone for the inviting charm that continues inside. A brand new roof (2025) adds instant curb appeal and long-term peace of mind. Step through the front door into a generously sized living room featuring hardwood floors, a cozy brick fireplace, and fresh paint throughout. The adjoining dining room is filled with natural light thanks to replacement vinyl windows, and also features beautiful hardwoods. To the left, you’ll find two spacious bedrooms, each with ample closet space, that share a well-appointed hall bathroom with a new vanity and a tiled tub/shower surround. The kitchen offers great function and style with white cabinetry, tile flooring, gas cooking, and a stainless steel refrigerator. Downstairs, the unfinished basement provides excellent storage options, while the unfinished attic offers the next owner a chance to add extra living space or a private retreat. Out back, enjoy a fully fenced yard, patio area with fire pit, and a storage shed. Whether you’re looking for a move-in ready home or a property with room to grow, 2005 Boston Ave delivers.
