Rare Waterfront Property Along the Historic James River
It’s not often that such a rare and unique waterfront opportunity comes available. If you have ever dreamed of owning an estate right on the banks of the James River, this is your chance. Known as America’s Founding River, the James River is about as rich with multi-century history as any waterway in this great land. From the days when our founding fathers first arrived long ago through today, this beautiful waterway has served as a critical link between Richmond and the Chesapeake Bay. The mighty river still provides great opportunities for boating and fishing, and its main channel is worthy enough to support heavy commerce transportation. A custom brick home, built in the 1950s, with over 3,200 square feet of living area sits right on the bank of the river offering relaxing and picturesque views. This four-bedroom, two-bath, cape-style home features lots of character with its slate roo...

From the days when our founding fathers first arrived long ago through today, this beautiful waterway has served as a critical link between Richmond and the Chesapeake Bay. The mighty river still provides great opportunities for boating and fishing, and its main channel is worthy enough to support heavy commerce transportation. A custom brick home, built in the 1950s, with over 3,200 square feet of living area sits right on the bank of the river offering relaxing and picturesque views. This four-bedroom, two-bath, cape-style home features lots of character with its slate roof and old-style brick. It also features a formal dining room, spacious living room, lots of closet space, a two-car garage, and a sunroom with an excellent view of the river. A series of wooden decks and stairs lead to a screened-in gazebo right at the water’s edge. There is an old swimming pool and associated pool house that is currently out of service. Depending on the new owner’s desires, the pool and its associated improvements could be restored or completely discontinued if a pool is not for you. With the relatively large riverfront lot, the possibilities for this property are endless. With some vision and a little TLC, this property has the potential to be a one-of-kind showplace. For those who love to fish and boat, a public launch is just minutes away. You can almost hear the history as you walk along the river bank. Gazing out across the picturesque water and thinking about this river’s importance in events such as the American Revolution and the Civil War is an emotional experience. Make this place yours so that you can absorb the James River’s flowing beauty on a daily basis. Please call today to schedule your own private showing
