Built in 1926

Welcome to this charming Colonial revival home circa 1926 featuring architectural details of the period: cedar shake siding, fan and side lights, hip roof and symmetry. Situated on a prime block of Westover Hills backing up to Riverside Drive with seasonal peeks of the James, this home is overflowing with character and flooded with natural light throughout. Boasting a welcoming foyer, tall ceilings, spacious rooms, and exquisite architectural elements...it is one of the oldest and most enchanting homes in this popular historic neighborhood. The kitchen renovation is a showstopper! Featuring new cabinetry, a center island, quartz countertops, stainless appliances, and a brass banded recirculating vent as a stunning focal point. The open flow connects kitchen to dining/sunroom at the rear, and also opens into the light filled livingroom with wood burning FP. Adjacent to the kitchen, a convenient mudroom with washer/dryer hookups and built in storage is situated near the back door, the perfect "drop zone" spot for all family members. Sunny office/playroom is located off living room offering many options for use. Additional updates and renovations include an all-new primary bathroom featuring heated marble floors, fresh paint, refinished wood floors and new light fixtures throughout. Finished basement (not included in sq footage) provides a 3rd full bath, laundry area, and two additional rooms ideal for exercise or hobbies. The private yard is a peaceful oasis, complete with a 2 level stone terrace, built in planters, "wrought iron" fencing, and beautiful gardens filled with flowering trees, shrubs and blooming roses. The oversized garage/carriage house with easy access from paved side alley offers exciting possibilities-whether as a garage, workshop, ADU, or whatever you imagine...architectural plans included. With its perfectly preserved vintage charm, modern updates, and unbeatable location in a sought after WALKABLE neighborhood, this home is a rare find and move-in ready for its' next chapter!
