Key Facts
Description
Opportunity to restore a classic Fan District home in one of Richmond’s most desirable locations. Located at 2309 Idlewood Ave, this historic property offers original character, solid potential, and the chance to create something special in a neighborhood where renovated homes continue to see strong demand. The home retains many of the architectural details buyers love about historic Richmond properties, including hardwood floors, exposed brick, fireplaces, tall ceilings, and a traditional Richmond front porch with ornate ironwork. A rear balcony off an upstairs bedroom adds additional outdoor space and charm. The property has already been demoed, giving the next owner a head start on renovations and a clear path to bring their own design vision to life. Whether you are looking for a personal restoration project or an investment opportunity, this home provides the flexibility to reimagine the layout and finishes while preserving its historic character. Additional features include a full basement offering storage and utility space, large windows for natural light, and original details throughout that are increasingly difficult to find. Positioned in the Fan near parks, restaurants, coffee shops, and downtown Richmond, the location offers walkability and convenience while still maintaining the neighborhood feel that makes this area so popular. Homes with this level of character and renovation potential in the Fan do not come available often. Bring your ideas and restore this historic Richmond property to its next chapter.
