Home Details for 2501 E Grace Street

Here’s your chance to call one of the most charming and historic buildings in Richmond home: the circa 1809 John Adams Double House. Located directly across the street from the national landmark St. John’s Church, this light-filled structure sits on a corner lot in one of the most desirable sections of Church Hill. All four levels have been carefully updated and restored, with particular attention given to the original historic features. Stepping through the oversized front door, you’ll immediately notice the wide-plank heart pine floors and deep-set windows. The parlor level features two original wood-burning fireplaces and Italian limewash paint. The gorgeous eat-in kitchen awaits downstairs in the walkout English basement. Flooded with light from the Victorian storefront, framed by hand hewn wooden beams and Old World brick floors, this is one of the most unique entertaining spaces you’ll find in a home. This one-of-a-kind setting is complemented by a well crafted and functional kitchen with contrasting marble and granite countertops, SS Cafe appliances, custom range hood, oak shelving and brass hardware. Directly off of the dining area and powder room is a serene walled garden with brick and bluestone patios that enable an indoor/outdoor lifestyle that’s hard to find in the city. The equally serene primary suite can be found on the top level, where the hand hewn wood beams are featured again, along with limewash walls and generous closet space. Marble floors, a beautiful deep green shower and brass fixtures combine to create a stunning en-suite bathroom, but the real stunner is the view of the James River from the window. On the second level, you’ll find a lovely bedroom with decorative fireplace, a spacious library or home office with a wood-burning fireplace and built-ins, and a full bath with marble floors and shower tile, custom wallpaper, and brass fixtures. In the heart of all of the charming parks, historic architecture and dining Church Hill has to offer, it’s an amazing place to call home.
