428 S Laurel St

Very unique home in great location in Oregon Hill with a lot of Richmond history attached to it! Very open floorplan, enter the first floor to an open family room and kitchen with a brick fireplace in the middle of this 16' x 31' room. The owner was a wood worker/ cabinet maker. The kitchen cabinets are made from approximately 250 year old English Oak. The wood was shipped from England to make the pews for a church that was on the adjoining property of The Jefferson Hotel. The Jefferson bought the church in the early 1900's for expansion, and the pews were later purchased, dismantled, and used for the kitchen cabinets in this home. The wood floors are from the old VCU girls basketball court, The circular stairway was hand built by the owner and the original staircase was removed years ago. The two chandeliers that hang on the second floor, as you look above your head as you enter the home are solid copper, and hung from the mezzanine of the old Loew's theater before it was renovated ( Carpenter Center, now Dominion Energy Center) that was built in 1928. Lots of history in this home. Sold strictly as-is, and a great value!
