A Cottage on the Hill
Imagine, a cottage that looks like it stepped out of an old English village, ivy and all! Walk up a stone paved walkway to this fairytale like residence where you’ll find beautiful hardwood floors and a place to rest your bones. The entryway has a convenient coat closet awaiting your arrival and access to the basement down below, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves…
Step to the right and you can already imagine cozy nights in your living room equipped with brick wood burning fireplace surrounded by built-ins. A ready worthy spot with ceiling fan and access to the side screened-in porch. Your mornings and evenings never felt so serene.
Come across to the left of your entryway and you’ll find a nicely sized formal dining room with swing door access to the kitchen. Plenty of space to host your next dinner party and if you are feeling less formal, settle inot the eat-in kitchen that is bright and inviting. Here you’ll find a built-in shelving/pantry, a built-in spice rack, a regular pantry closet, appliances, and nice wood cabinetry, electric cooking, and access to the back yard.
Time to retire to the bedrooms upstairs. Both bedrooms are equal in size donning dormer nooks that would make great reading spots or a place for Spot. One bedroom has walk-in cedar closet with shelving and both share the full hallway bath and full linen closet.
Now for a bit of vision! Down below in the basement area you will find a laundry room with washer and dryer, mudroom double sinks, and a full bath with shower rough-in. We see Mudroom/laundry room in your future! Pop over to the other side and let your creative side run wild. This flex space could be a nice rec room for game days/eves, a cozy family room, or an entire private master suite! There is built-ins under the stairs—did someone say wine storage? This would be an ideal renter situation as well with walkout access.
You will have no worries lounging in your backyard, we see tea-time and afternoon cocktails in your future. It is mostly a stress free, low maintenance yard with cute picket fence surrounding it. The camellias in bloom at this time are striking and add some beautiful color to your outdoor area. You also have an oversized detached garage for either storage or two compact cars. We see an art studio/music rehearsal /tinker space on the horizon with alley access.
So what makes this home made of stone so idyllic? Where she rests! This is a perfect location where you can walk to the River, enjoy hiking or biking in Forest Hill Park, or eat/drink at some of RVA’s most delicious restaurants like Laura Lee’s, Little Nickel, The Veil, and Stella’s Market to name a few. Although you are on the Southside of Richmond, you are a stone’s throw from Maymont Park, the Fan, and Museum district. Cross over Mayo Bridge and you are in Downtown RVA, but can also easily checkout Old Town Manchester with it’s developing neighborhoods and new dining areas.
