Timeless Richmond charm meets thoughtful modern updates in this beautifully maintained brick Colonial, ideally situated on a corner lot along iconic, extra-wide West Franklin Street. Featuring a classic slate roof and four fully finished levels, this exceptional home offers generous living space, character, and move-in-ready convenience. The main level offers a gracious entryway and seamless circular flow, with a spacious living room featuring built-ins and a gas fireplace. A bright adjoining sunroom provides an ideal home office with direct access to the rear patio. The updated kitchen showcases granite countertops, a Viking range, newer custom-paneled JennAir refrigerator, charming breakfast nook, and abundant storage. The dining room features crown molding and a wall-to-wall built-in buffet with additional storage. The second floor offers four spacious bedrooms, ample closet space, and two full baths. The third floor provides a private fifth-bedroom suite with its own full bath—perfect for guests, an office, or a secluded primary retreat. The finished lower level adds exceptional versatility with a large recreation room, second gas fireplace, full bath, laundry, and storage. Recent improvements provide peace of mind, including a brand-new HVAC unit serving the second zone with a WiFi-enabled thermostat. A new attic fan (thermostat controlled) has been installed to help keep the pressure off the HVAC system during those hot summer months. Additionally the front steps and rear patio have been professionally relaid and repointed. Outside, the beautifully landscaped yard features front and back irrigation, a fenced in backyard and a sports court. A two-car brick-and-slate garage provides exceptional parking and storage, with a new concrete floor, electric door, and wiring for EV charging. Just moments from beloved local destinations including Stella’s and the boutiques along Lafayette, this remarkable property perfectly blends historic Richmond character with modern comfort and thoughtful updates.
