This isn't a cosmetic refresh, 2021 Venable Street has been completely rebuilt from the inside out, giving buyers the rare combination of a century-old Union Hill bungalow with all the reliability of new construction. The renovation went deep: all-new electrical wiring throughout with a new panel, all-new plumbing from the fixtures back to the meter and main line at the street, new insulation top to bottom, and a brand-new 100-year main metal roof with TPO on the rear. Add a new HVAC system (2024), new water heater (2024), and you have a home where every major system has been touched, giving you genuine peace of mind for decades to come. Inside, the thoughtful finish work matches the mechanical upgrades. The interior features recessed lighting, a renovated kitchen with granite countertops and modern cabinetry, and fully renovated bathroom. Two bedrooms, all with brand new carpet, nicely sized closets, and ceiling fans, make for a comfortable, functional footprint whether you're living solo, as a couple, or growing a family. Step outside and you'll find a backyard with real privacy, off-street parking, and no HOA telling you what to do with either. The rear lot is generously sized; rare for this part of the city. The location puts you squarely in the heart of one of Richmond's most walkable, most sought-after corridors. Union Hill sits steps from Church Hill's restaurant row, Chimborazo Park and the Capital Trail just a short stroll for skyline views and morning runs. You're minutes from downtown RVA, Shockoe Bottom, and an easy drive to Carytown and Scott's Addition. Whether you're commuting, exploring, or simply stepping out for coffee, this address puts you in the middle of everything Richmond's East End has built itself into. Move-in ready. No projects. No surprises. Just a beautifully renovated home in a neighborhood people are working hard to get into. Come see for yourself today!
