Property Description

Designed by Marcellus Wright, renowned for his work on The Altria Theater and the Hotel John Marshall, this stunning private residence in Richmond's Historic Fan District is a rare architectural gem. Originally built in 1910, and once home to Virginia First Lady Violet Pollard, the property is rich with history and has been meticulously restored to offer timeless elegance with modern comfort. Situated on a prestigious corner lot, the home welcomes you with a beautiful gated iron entry and lush, meticulously landscaped gardens. Covered porches and balconies invite year-round enjoyment and quiet retreat. Inside, the home features original fireplaces with exquisite mantels, gorgeous arched openings and built-ins, expansive windows, soaring ceilings, a magnificent staircase and detailed millwork throughout. The eat-in kitchen is a chef's dream—boasting top-of-the-line appliances, a herringbone-patterned floor, an oversized island with pendant lighting, extensive pantry storage, gas cooking, and a built-in coffee bar. The kitchen flows to a covered back porch with gas grill, overlooking an elegant courtyard with fountain and vibrant gardens—perfect for entertaining. Additional highlights include dedicated off-street parking, a two-car detached garage with epoxy floors and a charming 1BR/1 bath carriage house above. The expansive and versatile floor plan offers endless possibilities. The current owners have curated spaces including a music room, fitness studio, artist's studio, and multiple formal entertaining rooms. The home features bedroom suites across three levels, many with adjoining rooms ideal for offices, dens, or personalized retreats. The layout also supports apartment-style living—ideal for multigenerational households, guests, or rental income. A rare opportunity to own a true Richmond landmark, thoughtfully updated for modern living while honoring its rich legacy.
