Welcome to 1509 Helen Lane, a classic brick bungalow nestled on a quiet, tree-lined street in the heart of South Richmond. This well-maintained home offers timeless curb appeal with its symmetrical façade, traditional green shutters, and a welcoming front stoop. This home boasts solid construction, a low-maintenance exterior, and sits on a spacious, shaded lot—ideal for outdoor gardening and entertaining. Inside, freshly refinished hardwoods, new LVP, updated fixtures and a backdrop of modern neutrals boast low maintenance living and make the home ready for the next owner's personal touch. A generous front yard offers nice separation from the street, while a private rear yard is fully shaded by mature hardwoods, creating a serene, park-like setting that renters or future homeowners will appreciate. The deep backyard is flat, fenced on two sides, and includes a rear entry door with concrete steps—perfect for creating a dedicated mudroom, in-law suite access, or a second unit entry. A full-width concrete sidewalk runs from the back steps to the lot line, providing great flow and utility. This well-built home combines timeless curb appeal with meaningful value for investors, flippers, and first-time buyers alike. Located just minutes from shopping, dining, parks, and the newly renamed Richmond High School for the Arts (formerly George Wythe High School), 1509 Helen Lane delivers both convenience and community in a sought after city location.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
