Built in 1923, this iconic four-story home in Richmond’s beloved Ginter Park neighborhood blends old-world charm with modern-day comfort. With its poured concrete construction and castle-like silhouette, it’s a home that’s not only beautiful but remarkably solid—so much so it was used as a bomb shelter during WWII. From the moment you step into the grand entryway with its dramatic black-and-white checkered marble floors, you’ll be captivated. The house is filled with details that inspire delight—from gorgeous carved marble fireplaces that bring warmth and ambiance throughout, to a stunning solarium where you can enjoy the feel of the outdoors year-round. And then there’s the garage -technically, the basement. It’s fully heated and air-conditioned and can comfortably hold up to six cars. You simply drive your car into the lower level and walk straight into your home—no matter the weather. It’s practical, secure, and honestly, feels a little like living in a spy movie.
Step outside to a large deck and outdoor kitchen, perfect for entertaining, and enjoy evenings under the stars in the hot tub tucked beneath the trees. The irrigation system keeps the landscaping lush, while a beautiful iron gate welcomes you to the rear garage entry, complete with remote gate access for added convenience and privacy. The backyard is a peaceful retreat, fully fenced and surrounded by trees and birdsong, offering your pup freedom to roam safely behind the electric gate. The home sits beautiful, solid and strong, still vibrant and full of life after more than a century. 3215 Seminary Avenue isn’t just a home—it’s a story, a sanctuary, and a slice of Richmond’s history.
