Rare riverfront estate on a prominent corner parcel along one of the James River’s most desirable stretches, set on almost 5.4 acres with sweeping, panoramic views. Positioned for exceptional privacy, the property offers uninterrupted sight lines to the water and beautifully landscaped grounds, with no neighboring residences visible from the main living areas.
Built in 1926, the timeless stucco residence is crowned with a slate roof and offers more than 6,500 square feet of light-filled living space designed for both everyday comfort and elevated entertaining. The chef’s kitchen is appointed with commercial-grade appliances and opens to an inviting family and eat-in area. Elegant formal living and dining rooms feature fireplaces and expansive windows that capture the river, creating a stunning setting for gatherings.
The main home includes four bedrooms, highlighted by a first-floor primary suite with peaceful river views. Three additional bedrooms are located on the second level and are served by two full bathrooms. A versatile space beneath the primary suite offers potential for a fifth bedroom, office, or custom closet.
Additional structures significantly enhance the property’s flexibility and appeal. A separate two-bedroom guest house with a full bathroom, kitchenette, and comfortable living space is ideal for extended stays, multigenerational living, or private work-from-home use. The detached three-car garage is temperature controlled and features over 1,000 square feet of storage and workshop space below, along with a finished upper level with fireplace, perfect for a gym, office, or studio.
Outdoor living is equally exceptional, with a river-facing heated pool, travertine deck, and pool house creating a private retreat designed for both relaxation and entertaining.
A rare opportunity to own a private, estate-caliber property offering space, flexibility, and timeless appeal, all just minutes from the heart of Richmond.
