About this property
Elegant and Historic Home in The Fan Available Long-Term May 1, 2026-2027.
Are you in need of a long-term rental in the most sought after area in Richmond? For professionals, med students, professors on sabbaticals, a family whose home is under renovation, or if one wishes for a "taste of The Fan" prior to making a home purchase.
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 plus the river for kayaking and its beautiful scenery.
Built in 1904, the home is tastefully decorated and graced with an array of southern charm. Typical of the homes in the Fan, the front and back parlor serve respectively as the living and dining rooms, and are elegantly furnished.
The sunny, art-enhanced kitchen is well-equipped for anyone who enjoys cooking. A foodie's delight!
The sunroom’s Palladium windows allow the sun and the beauty of the boxwood-filled garden to come inside, creating a feeling of calm. The outdoor deck with adjoining formal garden is just the place to dine al fresco or relax in the fresh air.
Upstairs, the master bedroom with queen bed is full of light coming through the bay window. The adjoining bath is tiled with Carrara marble with walls attractively hand-painted in an abstract design by a local artist. A Venetian chandelier hangs from the ceiling.
There are two guest bedrooms: one with a double bed and the other with an antique iron single bed. Add a futon in the sunroom and it could become a 4th bedroom. A hall bath with double imported-marble sink serves both of these two rooms.
This is a rare opportunity to experience the elegance and charm of one of Richmond’s distinctive neighborhoods with well-preserved architectural details alongside modern amenities. The home offers an inviting atmosphere suitable for professionals, families, or those seeking a temporary place in a central location. Completely furnished.

About the host
