About this home
Bird watching on the Buttermilk Trail. Mountain biking in Forest Hill Park. Strolling along the sidewalk to a local bakery, coffee shop, or brewery. If this sounds like your “Dolce Vita,” welcome home! 1303 W 42nd Street pairs the classic charm of a 1929 brick home with the thoughtful, modern updates today’s buyers expect. A paver driveway sets the tone, leading through the gabled portico into a foyer with a beautifully turned staircase. The first floor offers fantastic flow for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring beautiful hardwood floors, formal living and dining rooms, a renovated kitchen with a bright breakfast nook, and a flexible office or playroom with a full bath and private side entrance. Upstairs, you’ll find three bedrooms (one small) and an updated hall bath filled with natural light. The air-conditioned attic works nicely as a guest room, play room, or home office. The finished basement (waterproofed in 2021) adds even more usable space for a family room, game room, or gym. Outdoor living is just as appealing with a deck, patio, and fully fenced backyard. You will love the renovated shed with its glass-paneled French doors, ideal for a studio, workspace, or additional storage. Looking to connect with Forest Hill neighbors? Opportunities abound at the weekly farmer’s market, Run For The Hills! 5K, Music in the Park summer concert series, and 43rd Street Festival of the Arts. Major system updates include two-zone HVAC (2021), relined gas flue (2021), basement waterproofing and plumbing improvements (2021), third-floor mini-split (2022), gas water heater (2022), EV charger (2024), and a whole-house surge protector (2025). A classic home in one of Richmond’s most loved neighborhoods, surrounded by popular gathering places and scenic beauty, this one is truly special....
