This 4-bedroom, 2-bath home in the Iron Triangle neighborhood of Richmond has been renovated inside and out, including a permitted addition.

A cheerful paint job and easy-care landscaping in front welcome you into this 1940s-era cottage. The open living and dining area creates a sense of flow in and out of the updated kitchen, which has a breakfast bar, hexagonal tile backsplash, and lots of cabinet space. The bathrooms have sleek new fixtures and glass showers. The addition, which includes a bedroom and bath, is a perfect space for guests or a home office.

The graveled backyard has lots of potential: keep it low maintenance, or add greenery and a play area. There is space for outdoor dining, a conversation pit, or a gazebo for shade. The long drive on the side can accommodate multiple vehicles or an RV.
