Welcome to 105 N Rowland Street - an irresistibly charming Fan home filled with character, natural light, & thoughtful updates. This 3-bedroom home (plus a dedicated office) offers 2 full baths, picture molding, & 5 unique mantels/fireplaces. Sitting beside a quiet dead-end alley, the home enjoys wonderful privacy & sunlight pouring in from its south-facing windows. Step onto the large front porch & settle into the new swinging bench, perfect for morning coffee or watching the neighborhood stroll by. Inside, the freshly painted entryway offers excellent storage and a cozy under-the-stairs hideaway - a kid-favorite nook or the perfect spot to reimagine. The dining room features a stunning green tile mantel surround and an original pink-and-brass light fixture, opening into a bright, cheerful living room accented by south-facing windows and classic shutters for privacy. The updated kitchen includes stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, a peninsula with bar seating, and great storage, including a pantry area just off the hall. A renovated full bath with a tub rounds out the first floor. Upstairs, the three bedrooms continue the charm with lovely fireplace covers (each one delightfully different), great storage, and warm natural light. The second full bath features whimsical pebble-and-fish tile - a detail easy to miss until you settle in. There's also the perfect bonus room for an office or gym upstairs. Outside, the backyard feels like a hidden retreat, surrounded by a wall & trees that make it feel worlds away from city life. A young fig tree is beginning to establish itself, & there's space to garden along the sunny side alley. The home features a special Elizabeth Van Lew plaque, adding some Richmond history. Just steps from Joe's Inn, Shield's Market, Sidewalk Cafe, the VMFA & other Richmond staples. This is an amazing opportunity to own a piece of The Fan, where charm, light, & character shine in every room. There's even a half basement w/ tons of extra storage!
