If you have ever wanted to live inside a storybook, this is your chance. Built in 1929 by a famous architect, this stunning Tudor Revival home looks like a 500-year-old medieval castle. The bricks are full of different colors and patterns, giving it so much old-world charm. Inside, you will find magical arched doorways, fancy woodwork, and beautiful windows that make you feel like royalty.

Let’s talk about the absolute best feature: the location! The house sits high up on a hill right where the James and Appomattox rivers come together. You get nearly three acres of land and 77 feet of your very own waterfront. The backyard lawn is so historic that it actually used to be a wagon road during the Civil War. Talk about a backyard with a story!

With over 4,000 square feet, there is plenty of room to stretch out. The first floor is packed with cozy spaces, including a special “river room” for watching the water. Upstairs, there are five bedrooms, which includes a cute separate area that used to be for the housekeeper. Outside, you get fun extra buildings like a little garden house, a boathouse, and a giant five-car garage with a second floor.

Even though you feel like you are hidden away in your own private kingdom, you are only 20 minutes from downtown Richmond. You can spend your days exploring nearby parks and theatres, and your nights watching the river glow from your backyard. For $897,500, this landmark home is ready for someone to love it for the next hundred years!
