In the heart of Forest Hill—just minutes from the James River and Richmond’s most loved local spots—your new home blends flexibility, comfort, and an unbeatable city location. This classic split-foyer layout offers 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, multiple living spaces, and a fenced backyard that’s ready for summer evenings and everyday play. Upstairs, refinished hardwood floors and fresh paint welcome you into a light-filled living room that flows into a dedicated dining room—perfect for hosting—or head into the eat-in kitchen, where there’s plenty of space for casual meals, a generous pantry, and solid cabinet storage. Down the hall, two bedrooms and a full bath offer a peaceful retreat at the end of the day. Downstairs, the lower level adds even more flexibility: two additional bedrooms, a second full bath, and a spacious family room with plenty of room for movie nights, guests, or a dedicated home office. With its smart layout and private access, this level works beautifully for multi-generational living or hosting out-of-town visitors. Step outside onto your back deck overlooking a fully fenced backyard—ideal for pets, gardening, or just relaxing in your own green space. A detached 1-car garage adds storage or workshop potential, and there's still plenty of space for entertaining or unwinding outdoors. All of this, tucked into one of Richmond’s most walkable and beloved neighborhoods. Stroll to Forest Hill Park, Crossroads Coffee, Little Nickel, and the South of the James Farmers Market. With quick access to downtown, the river, and commuter routes, your home offers the space you need in a location you’ll love. Welcome home.
