If the words “pristine,” “pretty,” and “perfect” speak to you, then this house will too! She is ready for spring with fresh paint inside and out, new lighting, and professional landscaping. Flooded with natural light, the windows have been replaced with vinyl and have plantation shutters. The spacious living room has a brick fireplace and opens into a sunny dining room with a French door leading to the expanded deck. The kitchen is large, updated, and has a pantry as well. Also on the first level is a bedroom with attached powder room, currently used as a cozy library. The second level offers two large bedrooms, one with newly built-in wardrobes, and an expanded and renovated full bathroom. Exterior features include an adorable screened-in porch, oversized deck, fenced-in backyard and a true garage with an automatic opener. Walk to shops, restaurants, breweries, and of course, the award-winning trails leading to Richmond’s James River!
