Property Description

Built in the late 1890s by Englishman James H. Wallen, 1208 Park Avenue is an exceptional centerpiece of the historic Wallen Row. Inspired by the architecture of Richmond's former City Hall, this three-story granite, marble and painted brick home balances impressively high ceilings and refined architectural soul with extensive modern updates. The main level invites effortless entertaining, where formal living and dining rooms flow into a spacious kitchen, featuring Taj Mahal Quartzite countertops, marble mosaic backsplash, Kohler cast-iron workstation sink, and Miele, Sub-Zero, and Whirlpool appliances. Beyond, a versatile study-ideal as an optional first-floor bedroom-and full bath offer rare flexibility. The second floor features a three-room primary suite with spacious bath, dual walk-in closets, a morning bar and a dedicated new Carrier HVAC system. A second bedroom or family room, full bath, and renovated laundry room with Miele appliances complete the level. Two additional spacious bedrooms and full bath occupy the third floor. Updates include structural, mechanical, and electrical improvements and smart-home features, including a four-zone HVAC system. A new Navien boiler provides more than sufficient heat and hot water. Dimmable LED recessed lighting and Lutron lighting controls have been added throughout. Interior and exterior brick foundation walls have been re-mortared. Existing chimneys have been rebuilt and capped. Freshly painted re-plastered walls and ceilings, and restored trims, molding and doors, provide a move-in ready experience. Two off-street parking spaces and access to membership in the West Avenue Improvement Association complete this special Fan offering.
