Description

One of the Fan's most original houses with a rich and interesting history, this gracious home is offered for the first time since the mid 1970's. Before Monument Avenue became the place to live, there was the Lower End of Grove Avenue where in the 1890's some of Richmond's most expensive homes were constructed for a number of the leading citizens of the City. The First Floor features the original fireplaces (non working) with original mantels and tile surrounds and even original converted gas ceiling chandeliers! Improvements over the years include a working Otis three story elevator, a Mint Julep Sipping Parlor on the side and an updated Kitchen. One of the unusual features is a two story Carriage House with parking, a side potting shed and a second floor game room. There is even a Prohibition era concealed cellar! Great yard and Patio with wonderful morning sun. Lovingly maintained and restored by the current owner, including many original architectural elements, there was a separate bedroom for each of five children and several extra rooms, so you will not run out of space. This is truly a grand home and will be a showplace for any future owner. Please view the two videos to learn more about this special home. LOVE WHERE YOU LIVE!
