Tucked into South Richmond, this fully renovated 1920 bungalow blends classic cottage character with a clean, top-to-bottom modern renovation and offers something rare at this price: a deep, fully fenced backyard shaded by mature trees. Relax on the covered front porch with your morning coffee, plant a weekend garden, give the dog room to run, or string up lights for evenings with friends out back. Inside, an open and light-filled living space features wide-plank luxury vinyl flooring, fresh designer paint, recessed LED lighting, and a modern ceiling fan. It flows into a bright, updated kitchen finished with white quartz countertops, a marble-look subway backsplash, soft sage-green cabinetry with matte black hardware, and a stainless steel appliance package refrigerator, electric range, and microwave all of which convey. A sunny dining nook by the window is perfect for everyday meals. Both bedrooms are comfortable and full of natural light, each with its own ceiling fan and ample closet space. The renovated bathroom feels like a boutique retreat, with a designer-tiled tub-and-shower surround, a mosaic accent niche, a modern vanity, and striking matte black fixtures. A separate laundry room adds everyday convenience, and the washer and dryer convey. Behind the charm, the big-ticket items are done: a new 30-year architectural shingle roof, new siding, efficient all-electric heating with central air, updated plumbing and lighting, and a newer electric water heater. This is a true turnkey home nothing to do but move in. Enjoy off-street parking and a location with quick access to downtown Richmond, the Manchester district, and major commuter routes. Homes this move-in ready, with a backyard this generous, don't stay on the market long.
