Looking for the charm of a traditional Richmond/Williamsburg brick Cape Cod without living in the city? Welcome to this beautifully maintained home, where classic Richmond-style details blend seamlessly with modern updates and everyday functionality. Nothing captures the character of “old Richmond” quite like the slate roof, while thoughtful updates throughout preserve the home’s original charm. The kitchen has been refreshed for today’s lifestyle while retaining its timeless appeal. The bathroom features its original black-and-white tile floor, and refinished hardwood floors extend throughout the home. In the dining room, an updated ceiling beautifully complements the existing wainscoting. The first-floor bedroom, complete with a private bath, offers flexibility as a primary suite or comfortable guest room. The inviting family room features a large bay window and a brick fireplace with a new gas insert creating a warm and welcoming gathering space. Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms offer generous closet space and share a convenient Jack-and-Jill bath. A practical mudroom provides an ideal drop zone for coats, shoes, and everyday essentials. Step outside to the inviting back patio—perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Additional features include a 2-zone HVAC, oil heat backup, a LeafGuard Gutter System, a floored pull-down attic, a walk-out basement, a garage connected by a breezeway, and two detached storage sheds, one of which is perfect for a she shed. All appliances convey, and the seller is offering a one-year home warranty for added peace of mind. If you’ve been searching for timeless brick Cape Cod charm with thoughtful updates and plenty of functional space, this home is ready to welcome you.
