About the host
Hosted by Gregg Johnson
I have lived in Richmond since 1987 and know the City well. I'm happy to answer questions and offer recommendations to out of town guests.
Why they chose this property
The cottage is located in Sherwood Park, a neighborhood of older single-family homes close to downtown and VCU. Sherwood Park is a true hidden gem. This neighborhood exudes charm, featuring mostly brick homes nestled along tranquil, tree-lined streets. Adding to its allure are the historic campuses of Union Presbyterian Seminary, the Waldorf School and Veritas School all within a few blocks.
What makes this property unique
This cottage is on a quiet side street with no other homes and is exceptionally private yet close to everything in downtown Richmond.
