Discover the convenience of living in a 3- bedroom (4th with your futon) historic home that is in the middle of everything cool which is the perfect setting situated in Richmond's Fan District filled with stately homes of grandeur. Whether on business or pleasure, visiting the Virginia Museum of Modern Art, or strolling to a neighborhood restaurant, this is the place to call home.
The professionally decorated home is tastefully graced with an array of southern charm. The newly renovated kitchen, with its gas Thermidor range, will be a pleasure for any foodie in your group: imported Italian tile back splash with accompanying serving table; fully equipped culinary utensils and supplies; four Parson chairs and glass, black wrought-iron table as an eating area. And step into the sun room --- small and intimate --- with its Palladium windows and floral love seat as the outdoors and sun come right in --- this is where you're going to rest after a day on the town. Or, if the weather is nice, relax in the wrought-iron chairs with comfortable seating on the private side deck surrounded by brick walls --- the feel of the Mediterranean right in Richmond. In the front parlor of the house is the formal living room with pocket doors leading to the dining room providing seating for ten or more around the formal banquet table. Brass chandeliers provide the ceiling lighting throughout the house.
Upstairs, the master bedroom and its adjoining bath is in the front of the house. You will enjoy the light coming in through the bay window as well as the renovated master bath with Carrera tile and Austrian crystal chandelier. There is also a second bedroom for guests with a double bed as well as a single bed in the third bedroom. The upstairs sun room makes a great reading room with its three sides of sunshine coming in and makes a great 4th bedroom if needed (guest providing futon.) As with the master bath, there is Carrera marble in the guest bath.

A few miles away is another area of Richmond called Church Hilll where the UCI cyclists completed a grueling course of cobblestones for the Worlds 2015 Competition.
