Framed by a pair of magnificent, century-old beech trees, 8101 Longwood is gracefully perched on a knoll in the heart of River Road Hills, one of Richmond’s most cherished neighborhoods. This 1958 mid-century residence blends timeless architecture with thoughtful modern stewardship, having been meticulously cared for and improved by its current owners since 2003—only the third owners in the home’s history. Constructed with reclaimed old brick sourced from a downtown warehouse, the home carries a sense of history and craftsmanship that is both rare and enduring. Offering five well-proportioned bedrooms and four full baths, the layout is ideally suited for both everyday living and gracious entertaining. Its location within the highly sought-after Tuckahoe School District further enhances its appeal. The outdoor spaces are truly exceptional. In 2022, the landscape was professionally redesigned by noted Richmond landscape architect Marcia Fryer, resulting in a series of beautifully curated gardens and gathering areas. Expansive bluestone and brick patios anchor the landscape, complemented by mature plantings, a traditional Japanese kakei fountain, and multiple spaces designed for entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying the natural surroundings. Inside, the home offers excellent circular flow, creating a seamless connection between living, dining, and gathering spaces—ideal for hosting both intimate dinners and larger celebrations. Adding to its rarity in River Road Hills, the property includes a garage as well as three separate exterior parking areas, providing ample space for 6–7 vehicles. With its distinctive character, thoughtful updates, exceptional landscape design, and prime location, 8101 Longwood is a home that captures the heart—easy to fall in love with and a must to see!
