2711 E Grace St, Richmond, VA 23223

Thoughtfully renovated, this Church Hill gem blends historic elegance with modern updates. The yard's iron gate opens to a simple garden of boxwoods and hydrangeas, and a brick walkway leads to a columned front porch. Refinished original double doors welcome you into a foyer lit by a 1920s French Art Deco fixture; the beautifully restored front staircase will make any preservationist’s heart swoon. Yet what really sets 2711 E. Grace Street apart is a main floor featuring wonderful flow from each room to the next, starting with a parlor showcasing an original oak fireplace mantel with new gas insert. Restored pocket doors lead you to the second parlor (or possible formal dining room) with a handsome original mantel and new gas insert, plus Machine Age light fixture and sconces. The kitchen gleams with custom cabinetry, a dual fuel range, under cabinet lighting, and quartzite countertops. Relax at the island or follow the bright breezeway to the back of the house, where you’ll find a renovated powder room with vintage details, and a spacious family room currently serving as an office. Mindful touches extend to the shady screen porch, added in 2022, and the low-maintenance, fully fenced backyard. Upstairs, four bedrooms, a laundry, and a private balcony tucked among the treetops deliver both comfort and style. The cleverly designed primary suite has gorgeous natural light, a walk-in closet, and a large bathroom with marble tile. The antique armoire in the hall bath is truly a showstopper and conveys with the house. New crown molding throughout, plus recently added millwork, a tankless water heater, new duct work, updated plumbing and electrical, and restored windows add to this brick beauty’s appeal. Just a quick stroll to Libby Park, Riverbend Coffee, Grisette, and everything this very special neighborhood has to offer.
