Description

Sitting just steps from Battery Park in RVA’s Northside, 2814 Montrose Ave is a stunning home! A true early-20th-century American Foursquare w/ its low-pitched hipped slate roof, charming dormer window, full-width front porch, and stucco façade—it’s absolutely picturesque! Step inside through the original 15-panel glass door w/ sidelights and a transom window—this one is filled with natural light! A wonderful mix of old-world charm and modern updates begins in the foyer w/ refinished hardwood floors, a decorative fireplace, and the original newel post. The hardwoods continue into the living room where sunny windows seem to be at every turn. Stroll into the dining room featuring crown and chair rail molding, and just to your right is a small hallway w/ built-in shelving, the updated powder room, and stairs to the basement where you’ll find additional storage. Just off the dining room is the large kitchen outfitted w/ white cabinetry w/ dovetail drawers, butcher block counters w/ bead-board backsplash, exposed brick, gas cooking, and a double wall oven. And just beyond the kitchen is the recently completed first-floor addition—a fantastic space for a home office or playroom! Upstairs you’ll find 4 sizable bedrooms including the primary suite, which was part of the recent addition—and you’re going to love it! Hardwood floors, recessed lighting, a massive picture window, and two closets including an enormous walk-in w/ wood shelving make this space really special. The ensuite bathroom is equally impressive w/ a classic claw-foot tub, walk-in shower w/ tile surround and glass door, double vanity w/ Quartz top, and herringbone tile floors. The 3 additional bedrooms all offer original hardwood floors, ample closet space, and share a stylish hall bathroom with a tub/shower, tile surround, exposed brick, and penny round tile featuring a fun, subtle detail you’ll have to uncover on your own! Outside, you’ll love the huge yard, the thoughtfully designed landscaping, the covered patio, the large garage/shed—it’s a must see!
