Property Description

There are homes that simply exist, and those that carry history forward. Kimwood stands among them. In the heart of Bon Air, this extraordinary c.1889 Victorian blends historic character with modern updates. Built by the Withers family as a summer retreat from Richmond's heat and industry, the home has evolved over generations, each steward leaving a lasting mark on its story. Rich in architectural detail, the property showcases original hardwood floors, light fixtures, three fireplaces, and custom millwork alongside stunning renovations. A sun porch off the main living space holds one of the home's most storied details, a hand-laid mosaic tile floor crafted from salvaged materials under the guidance of a former owner's family matriarch. The newly renovated kitchen anchors the home, opening into a light-filled morning room. Quartz countertops, custom tilework, Café appliances, and a walk-in pantry elevate the space. Just beyond, a former porch has been transformed into a well-appointed butler's pantry with soapstone countertops, a copper sink, cabinetry, and refrigerated drawers. A curved staircase leads to the 2nd level, offering a primary suite with attached bath, an additional updated full bath, laundry room, large secondary bedroom, and two flexible rooms ideal for bedrooms, offices, or dressing spaces. The main hall opens to the iconic 'parade porch,' a front-row seat to Bon Air's Victorian Day celebrations. The 3rd floor artist's loft offers a private retreat with a floor-to-ceiling windows, walk-in closet, and attic with cathedral ceilings. The updated carriage house includes two full baths and a kitchenette, ideal for guests, extended stays, or income potential. Set on an expansive parcel, the grounds feature mature landscaping, seasonal blooms, garden spaces, and outbuildings. A fenced courtyard with patio and outdoor kitchen is the perfect spot for alfresco entertaining. Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a piece of Bon Air's history, thoughtfully updated and ready for its next chapter.
