ck. The custom cabinets also include two hidden cabinets and a hidden breaker panel with easy access next to the Refrigerator, as well as a pantry cabinet with three drawers and customizable shelving. With your choice of a front or back stair case to access the upstairs, you will find two large bedrooms with generous double door closets and a master suite to make your relatives jealous! As you walk up the front, wrought iron staircase, notice the exposed Mortice & Tenon joinery of the original joists that support the second floor. Along with the two front bedrooms you will find a full bath with tub/shower combo in what used to be the Trunk Room of the house. The master bedroom is ~ 30' by 20' with two closets - one generous double door closet and a large Cedar-lined walk-in closet which has two rows of surround upper shelving and a shoe-rack constructed with custom Maple and Brazilian Cherry finish. Centered in front of the master bedroom fireplace are two remote-controlled skylights for stargazing from your bed. These skylights are smart enough to close themselves at the first drop of rain. The "en-suite" bathroom has a Cherry vanity that was harvested from local historical Maymont park with double sinks. There is a washer/dryer closet with Miele Front-load Washer and Dryer and cabinets above. There is also a pocket door to provide privacy between the vanity and the shower/toilet area.

As you exit down the back stair case, look up to find the gas hot water heater cleverly hidden within easy reach above the stairs.

The front porch has columns and pilasters with a painted concrete pad with brick trim, brick steps and custom herringbone slate walkway also trimmed in brick; the back has an historically accurate knee-wall and columns on a wooden decked raised porch with two ceiling fans to move that summer time Richmond heat.

A Super-can garbage garage was created to keep the trash cans within easy reach and yet tastefully hidden away for a no touch disposal.Other historical elements of note are the trim-work throughout the house which includes crown molding, the original heart pine rosettes, plinth blocks, and three-member baseboards; three fireplaces two downstairs and one in the master bedroom with ventless natural gas; The longest, continuous wrought iron fencing in Church Hill is displayed front and back with a blended wooden privacy fence in the back yard.
