The Fan:Short term all Sept '25 and long-term March '26-'27. Short stays 5+ days
Inquire DISCOUNTED the entire month of September, 2025. Also available for one year March 2026 thru March 2027. This is a great opportunity for those considering a permanent move to the Fan ... to "try it out first."
On historic Hanover Avenue and only a few blocks from The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts; The Virginia Museum of History and Culture; The Science Museum; highly-rated restaurants plus small neighborhood markets and miles of trails for biking and hiking and the river for kayaking and its beautiful scenery.
Discover the convenience of living in a 3- bedroom (4th with your futon) historic home that is in the middle of everything cool which is the perfect setting situated in Richmond's Fan District filled with stately homes of grandeur. Whether on business or pleasure, visiting the Virginia Museum of Modern Art, or strolling to a neighborhood restaurant, this is the place to call home.
The professionally decorated home is tastefully graced with an array of southern charm. The newly renovated kitchen, with its gas Thermidor range, will be a pleasure for any foodie in your group: imported Italian tile back splash with accompanying serving table; fully equipped culinary utensils and supplies; four Parson chairs and glass, black wrought-iron table as an eating area. And step into the sun room --- small and intimate --- with its Palladium windows and floral love seat as the outdoors and sun come right in --- this is where you're going to rest after a day on the town. Or, if the weather is nice, relax in the wrought-iron chairs with comfortable seating on the private side deck surrounded by brick walls --- the feel of the Mediterranean right in Richmond. In the front parlor of the house is the formal living room with pocket doors leading to the dining room providing seating for ten or more around the formal banquet table. Brass chandeliers provide the ceiling lighting throughout the house.
Upstairs, the master bedroom and its adjoining bath is in the front of the house. You will enjoy the light coming in through the bay window as well as the renovated master bath with Carrera tile and Austrian crystal chandelier. There is also a second bedroom for guests with a double bed as well as a single bed in the third bedroom. The upstairs sun room makes a great reading room with its three sides of sunshine coming in and makes a great 4th bedroom if needed (guest providing futon.) As with the master bath, there is Carrera marble in the guest bath.
The Fan is a unique place to live. To name a few of the attractions: The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (one of the top ten art museums on the East Coast with a fine-dining restaurant and a casual cafe --- a MUST and only 8 walkable blocks away; Maymont (park/small zoo/nature museum/historic home to tour; bike and hiking trails); The Museum of History and Culture; Hollywood Cemetery (famous U.S. presidents' burial ground); Carytown ( a quaint area for shopping and lovely assortment of restaurants/ice cream/ coffee shops you'll love). A few miles away is another area of Richmond called Church Hilll where the UCI cyclists completed a grueling course of cobblestones for the Worlds 2015 Competition. St. John's Church is located there, famous for Patrick Henry's "give me liberty" speech.
Restaurants galore: Joe's Inn (only a few blocks away - Italian, inexpensive and the local watering hole with HUGE servings and great for breakfast with a to-go service; a new restaurant with vibes on Robinson called Uliveto; Kuba Kuba (Cuban cuisine about 6 blocks away with great coffee); several walkable restaurants on Broad Street such as Chez Max. Hop in the car and go to Stella's about a mile away (Greek cuisine with reservation recommended); downtown there is Julep's; in Church Hill there is The Roosevelt (southern cuisine) and a delicious bakery Sub Rosa; and in Scott's Addition there are many to choose from.
Transportation: An easy walk five blocks away on Addision and Broad Streets for public bus access to downtown and MCV-VCUA, and a 10 minute drive by car to The University of Richmond and a fifteen minutes drive to Short Pump Mall.
Our home is clutter-free as the children are grown and live elsewhere. You will feel as if you are in a high-end hotel with all clothes and personal belongings removed from the bedroom closets and drawers. With the additional amenities of a professional kitchen, elegance throughout the house; and the best neighborhood in Richmond, this will be love at first sight. There is a cleaning fee of $140 (deep cleaning including mattress pads; duvets and all linens. Immaculate floors and trim. Designer linens.)
We look forward to seeing you!
