Description

Ideally positioned directly across from Byrd Park in Richmond's Carillon neighborhood, 816 Blanton Avenue offers a rare opportunity to acquire an architecturally significant city estate on a .344-acre double lot. The primary residence--an American Foursquare with Queen Anne influences--is believed to have been designed or inspired by architect Carl Max Lindner Sr., who resided in the home in the late 1910s. Notable architectural details include bracketed eaves, projecting bays, and original diamond-pane dormer windows. The home includes four bedrooms, two and a half baths, and over 2,500 square feet of interior space, plus a partial basement with additional utility. At the rear of the property, accessible from Walpole Street, a detached three-car garage includes unfinished space above--well suited for a future accessory dwelling unit, guest suite, or studio. This structure sits on a portion of the parcel that may present a future development opportunity, subject to city approval. Recent capital improvements include HVAC systems replaced in 2023 and 2024, a new roof in 2025, multiple window upgrades (with original stained and leaded glass preserved), and updated appliances including a 2023 microwave and 2024 dishwasher. With protected views of Byrd Park, walkable access to Carytown, The Fan, and the city's premier recreational and cultural amenities, this property offers both immediate livability and long-term potential in one of Richmond's most established neighborhoods. A distinctive offering in both scale and provenance. Don't let this unicorn slip away!

Fan/Museum District Condominiums

Looking for historic charm, walkable streets, and low-maintenance living in the heart of Richmond? Condos in the Fan and Museum Districts offer all that — plus a front-row seat to some of the city’s best culture, architecture, and dining Monument Avenue, Carytown, and the VMFA are all walkable — offering green spaces, museums, and one of Richmond’s most charming urban lifestyles. Whether you're a first-time buyer, downsizer, or medical professional looking for turn-key comfort, the Fan and Museum Districts deliver character, culture, and convenience in every direction.

Looking for the charm of Richmond’s most iconic neighborhoods with the ease of maintenance-free living?
Condominiums in the Fan and Museum Districts offer the perfect blend of historic character, modern convenience, and walkability that’s hard to match.

Set among shady, tree-lined streets and stately early 20th-century architecture, these neighborhoods feel like a step back in time — with all the energy of city life at your feet. Many buildings have been carefully restored and converted into stylish condos, preserving details like hardwood floors, original fireplaces, oversized windows, and intricate moldings, all paired with updated kitchens, smart layouts, and in-unit laundry.

Whether you're a first-time buyer, medical professional, investor, or downsizer, these homes offer timeless charm with lock-and-leave freedom.

The outdoor lifestyle here is part of the appeal: stroll along Monument Avenue under a canopy of mature oaks, sip coffee on a wrought-iron balcony, or wander down quiet alleys to find pocket gardens, mosaic sidewalks, and lovingly restored porches. Front steps become gathering places, and evening walks turn into spontaneous neighborly conversations.

And when it comes to food, this neighborhood truly shines. Start your morning at Kuba Kuba or Lift Coffee, grab lunch at Garnett’s or 8½, and enjoy dinner at standout spots like Heritage, Helen’s, Little Nickel, or Longoven. From cozy wine bars like Celladora and Bar Solita to indulgent Southern fare at Lillie Pearl or the iconic Perly’s, the dining scene in and around the Fan is unmatched in variety and flavor. Belmont Butchery, Stella’s Market, and the Carytown Kroger provide top-tier grocery options just blocks away.

Spend your weekends exploring the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts or relaxing in its sculpture garden with a pastry from Sub Rosa, then catch a film at the historic Byrd Theatre or stroll to a neighborhood wine tasting or gallery opening.

This is a neighborhood where the city unfolds block by block — where art, history, and everyday living meet.

For condo buyers seeking not just a home, but a neighborhood with rhythm, beauty, and community, the Fan and Museum Districts offer a uniquely Richmond way of life.
