Idyllically located on Kensington Avenue in the coveted Museum District you will find this timeless stucco row home. Exuding understated elegance and historic charm, the traditional ochre stucco facade protects the era of the 1920's construction.

The cozy interior with it's perfectly worn hardwoods, quaint windows and unexpected nooks will make you fall in love! And the unanticipated exterior spaces add to the instant allure. Enjoy entertaining or quiet meals in the formal dining room while opening up the French doors onto the side porch. Upstairs, the primary bedroom opens onto a private balcony, perfect for enjoying quiet mornings or warm Richmond evenings. Natural light pours in through the glass paned door, casting a soft glow giving the space a serene and refined feel, ideal as a personal retreat. The second bedroom contrasts with an airy, architectural feel. Open rafters lend a sense of spaciousness and rustic charm, while the loft area adds versatility, functioning as a bedroom, cozy reading nook or play space. Offering very useful space is the smartly designed basement with a surprisingly amount of storage space. A private, fenced patio with mature landscaping offering direct access to the kitchen offers an ideal setting for both privacy and entertainingI we've all heard it before, but truly - just move in! And while you're at it, leave the car parked because you are within walking distance to the VMFA, Publix and Carytown.
