Description

Situated on a coveted block of Hanover Avenue in Richmond’s sought-after Malvern Gardens, this stunning 1938 brick Dutch Colonial is a rare blend of architectural character and high-end modern living. Topped with a Vermont Buckingham slate roof, this home makes an immediate statement of quality and timeless appeal. Inside, natural light pours into a gracious living room adorned with classic dental moldings and anchored by a charming fireplace. The adjacent dining room flows seamlessly into a show-stopping, open-concept kitchen—expertly designed with custom soft-close cabinetry and an impressive 14-foot cantilevered island featuring a built-in Sub-Zero wine fridge. With seating for five, this space is perfectly tailored for entertaining and everyday living, all while remaining open to an expansive family room with built-in cabinetry. A versatile first-floor flex space—ideal as a den, office, or playroom—features a large picture window, and a beautifully updated powder room completes the main level. Upstairs, the second floor offers three well-appointed bedrooms, a remodeled hall bath, and a stylish primary suite with a private ensuite. The third floor with additional 205 sf (not included in the total finished sf) adds exceptional flexibility with a custom bedroom, rich wood flooring, and extensive wall-to-wall built-in storage. Out back, a bright and generously sized private yard provides the perfect outdoor retreat, complete with a sizable patio, ample gardening space, and a detached shed. Homes of this caliber, in this location, rarely come available—this is a standout opportunity to own a truly exceptional Richmond classic.
