Elegant/Historic Home in The Fan: Inquire for Anytime or Long-Term Jan -Mar '27

Carolyn was an excellent guest. We communicated a lot prior to the visit, and being that she had previously lived in Richmond, knew the area. When I arrived home after her departure, I could not tell anyone had visited. Without hesitation, she is highly recommended as a guest.

Dorothy was an excellent guest in my home. She and I had great communication prior to and during her stay and she showed great respect and care for my home and its contents. Of course, I would recommend her to future homeowners and welcome her back in my home in a second!

Due to its historic nature, I am very selective as to whom stays in my home. Consequently, I always request additional information about the potential guests. Upon reading Leslie's bio, I knew immediately she and her family would be a "best fit" for my home. This was reinforced through communication via email prior to their stay, culminating when I actually met this awesome woman and her husband. Leslie, thank you for a lovely review of my "jewel box" home which I find such a charming way of describing it. She and her husband took such good care of everything in my home and, when I walked in upon their departure, would never have known there were visitors there for the past two weeks! If Leslie lived here in Richmond, I would want her to be a friend. Thanks, Leslie, for your warmth and kindness. I look forward to your return trip!

Having just placed my home on VRBO in the summer of 2015, the September guests who wrote the above review were my first. I would like to add that they were here for the UCI Road World Cycling Event --- with all members of the family Olympic gold-medal winners and the son (6'6") winning the Team Time Trial. What an honor! I wish they had not given me 4 stars as my house is actually a 10! Check for yourself ---- the measurements below show the rooms are quite adequate in size. The 2000 block of Hanover is considered to be one of the elite avenues in the historic area. Our block has houses that range from 2,000 sq. ft (the size of my house) to 4,000 sq. ft. The measurements of my first floor rooms are as follows: front parlor (living room): 14' x 15'; back parlor (formal dining room): 14' x 15'; kitchen: 21' x 15'; sunroom: 10' x 15'. The hallways upstairs and downstairs are narrow as are the 1st floor 1/2 bath and washer/dryer closet tucked under the staircase (Victorian houses have few storage spaces.) The pantry in the kitchen is small but well stocked. The houses are close to one another and run deep on the property --- all making for the charm of living in The Fan! I prefer to be very selective and limit my guests to adults as the house is immaculate and well tended. Will be on The Fan Woman's Club Kitchen and Garden Tour in the spring of 2016.
