Saturdays! When you’re living the good life at 4513 W. Franklin St., they’ll be just about perfect! Coffee made at home to sip on your porch, or just a quick trip to your fav hangout coffee shop. Next is a chance to explore the James River with a paddle, a float, hike or an hour lazing on a warm rock. Lunch at Stella's? Of course, but leave enough time to wander through Carytown or Libbie & Grove, or to take a quick run over the Huguenot Bridge to Trader Joe's. Evenings are even more special with your options to entertain from the screened porch and brick patio, because really, you’ve got a garden that blooms beautifully and asks very little in return. Why not show it off! Dinner at Lafayette Tavern? Um… perhaps not! But you can try!. Weekdays are just as easy, with Mary Munford ES and its fabulous playground, St. Catherine's, St. Christopher's, St. Bridget's, the Country Club of Virginia and the VMFA all close at hand. This is a house that has kept pace with the times. The seller took a wall out so that a full size dw (brand new) could be installed. The opening left by the sink – is now the perfect spot for a trashcan. Serendipity! They installed classy butcher block counters and a shiplap backsplash, and then carried the shiplap theme to the fireplace wall. Fresh paint and NEW lights, faucets, knobs and cabinet pulls make the house sing! You've gotta LOVE the DR chandelier! It's pretty stunning! The primary suite is upstairs, and it has a HUGE walk-in closet (so rare in an older home). The owner even re-built the shower with tile, and both bathrooms got NEW vanities. Behind the scenes: NEW fridge and dishwasher, 2018 washer/dryer, 2020 water heater, 2020 14 SEER split gas/cooling system, 2020 new sewer line, 2020 chimney and lintel work, 2022 sidewalk, 2014 roof and 2011 windows. This home defines convenient, adorable and just plain specialness. Isn’t it time to come home? UNDER CONTRACT and Waiting for a signature.
