Description

Welcome to a truly exceptional property in the heart of Richmond. 5407 Cary Street Road was built and designed by famed architect Duncan Lee in 1916 as a weekend retreat. The historic family home is situated on over two acres in the heart of Richmond, and well known by many. The iconic home underwent one addition in 1928 and remained untouched until the large scale renovation and addition, completed in 2016, including extensive landscaping. The first level features generous original formal rooms, a Garden Room with original bar and fountain, and Library. The well appointed Chef's kitchen connects the kitchen, family room, gaming, and outdoor spaces. The second level features six ensuite bedrooms with walk in closets, a generous laundry room with a center marble topped island, and a bunk room. The lower level features a media/game room, full bar, extensive custom cabinetry, exercise room, and a private ensuite bedroom, perfect for an au pair. The home has a geo-thermal system, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, bright windows, marble finishes, conditioned attic, two Rinnai hot water heaters, heated bathroom floors, and built-in elevator shaft that spans all three floors. The master en-suite features a sitting room, deep soaker tub, dressing room, and storage closet. The original veranda overlooks the expansive property, fountain, well maintained gardens, and Hillbrook garden house located aside the irrigated family garden. This unique once-in-a-lifetime home offers a serene and sophisticated lifestyle against a historic backdrop, and was featured in the Historic Garden Week in Virginia Tour in 2019.
