Description

Hoping to find a light-filled Fan home on a "top block," with a garage? 1901 Hanover Avenue is a 1910 brick home on a prime Hanover Avenue corner at Granby Street in Richmond's Fan District, overlooking the celebrated 1800 block. Lovingly lived in by the same family for four generations, it is available for the first time since the 1940s. This elegant home offers loads of architectural detail: a gracious staircase, panel moulding, original fireplace mantels, built-in bookcases, and heart pine floors. The corner lot delivers exceptional natural light and neighborhood views. A two-story addition in the 1980s expanded the home and added two true bay windows, one in the family room and one in the primary bedroom, filling each space with light. The large open kitchen with island seating flows into the family room. Outdoor living includes a front porch, a decorative iron balcony, and an open-air garden room ideal for entertaining. The brick-walled garden, entered through cast iron gates, is filled with cast iron details, draping ivy, and loads of Southern charm. This is as close to Charleston's South of Broad as you can get, right here in Richmond. The detached garage provides rare off-street parking, with room to expand to as many as three cars if desired, though most will find the garden room too charming to give up. Walkable Fan District living in Richmond, VA 23220. Don't miss your chance to own this Fan District gem. Showings will begin on October 1.
