Description

This finely detailed Colonial Revival-style ranch house combines 18th-century elegance with mid-century ranch house design. Situated on two-and-a-half acres on a high bluff, this architect-designed home offers magnificent views of the James River and the surrounding countryside. The house’s abundant colonial features capture the charm and elegance of the 18th century, while its updated amenities and expanded living areas make it ideal for today’s living. The exterior is mostly constructed of red brick laid in Flemish bond. The main entrance is reached by a brick walkway laid in a basketweave pattern and features a single-leaf door opening with a substantial carved wood surround. The front of the house features four gabled dormers with six-over-six windows. The design of the back is less formal than the front, with the main emphasis being to provide views of the river from inside. A spacious brick-paved terrace helps to unify the design and provides a transition from the building to the landscape. The house features a hall-salon plan comprising a central entrance hall which leads to a large formal living room overlooking the James River. The bedroom wing of the home extends to the north, and the dining room, family room, kitchen, and garage are located to the south. The paneled sliding pocket doors between some of the formal rooms are an amenity not found in most ranch houses. Oak floors enhance the first-floor rooms. The south end of the house has been modernized and expanded to feature a spacious kitchen, a glass-enclosed sunroom overlooking the river, and a two-car garage. Seven bedrooms and six full baths, including first & second floor primary suite options as well as first and second floor laundry options. Abundant natural light & heavy moldings throughout. Views from every vantage point. Unfinished walk-out basement. Walk-in attic storage. Paved circular drive. Too many details to list...TRULY ONE-OF-A-KIND!!! MUST SEE!!!

What Locals Say about Stratford Hills

  • Trulia User
    "It’s close to the river, quiet and a more house for the money. The location is central to downtown, the fan, short pump and the southside."

    "This is a great area to live: you can be almost anywhere in the Richmond metro region in 20-25 minutes max. Close to downtown with minimal commuting hassle, walking distance to the river, Pony Pasture, and other city favorite haunts. Friendly neighbors, great restaurants, plenty of shopping options. "

    "Minutes walk to the river, quick access to highways and all areas of the city, nice neighbors etc.. The only downside and it's a biggy is the city schools. They're mediocre at best and if you plan to live here plan to shell out some extra dollars to send your kids to better schools. Like so many before us we'll probably end up moving before our kids hit school age, which explains the seeming absence of school age children in the neighborhood. That for some though might be a plus."

    "Fantastic safe neighborhood with active Neighborhood watch program. Walking distance to James River and Park. Walking distance to bus line, grocery, nightlife and shops of all sorts. 4 streets towards James River from Forest Hill and right between Powhite and Chippenham Parkways. Very established and desirable area."

    "This area and specific neighborhood of Stratford Hills is one of Richmond's most popular and undoubtedly one of its most unique and beautiful areas. There are miles of walking trails and parks for exploring right along the historic James River. You'll see kayakers and other small boats using the river all year long. There is flat water and roaring rapids. The fishing is excellent for many species (and some grow up to 50 pounds!) This location is literally just minutes (5) to some of Richmond's most iconic shopping areas, gourmet and family restaurants, clubs, and even the expressway and interstate systems yet tucked away in quiet, wooded settings of homes on large lots and interesting, rolling terrain. It's a great place to live with wonderful, friendly neighbors. Make sure you check it out for yourself and you'll most probably agree!"

    "I have worked in this area for the past year and found the neighborhood and neighbors to be friendly, and open. Everyone seems to enjoy walking the wooded streets and genuinely care about each other and look out for each other."
