Built in 1895, this stunning Queen Anne home with Mansard roof and exquisite original details is a Fan District standout. A four window, bay front facade with its elegant Eastlake porch graces the main floor while bow front windows on the second and third floors enhance the curved tower filling the home with light and offering sunset views. Upon entering, note the delicately crafted ornamental spandrel, original fireplace, original light fixtures and handsome 3 story staircase adorning the impressive foyer. Gracious parlours with 11 ft. ceilings offer original chandeliers, preserved millwork, heart pine floors and beautiful tiled fireplaces with original mantels--nine in total. The gourmet kitchen with Wolf range and restaurant grade appliances has 2 sinks and plenty of work space to please the cook while guests can comfortably dine in the midst of it all. A powder room, pantry, laundry room, spacious back room perfect for an office and door to excellent storage space in the basement, complete the first floor. The second floor offers airy bedroom suites and 2 full baths; the third floor is washed in natural light from its skylight and has 2 additional bedrooms and another full bath with sweeping views over Fan rooftops and steeples. Recent updates include new AC heat pumps both up and down (with back-up heat), full renovation and restoration of the front porch, updated third floor bathroom, installation of paved parking in the back for 2 cars and freshened exterior paint. Located on a quiet block of Grove and known for neighborhood activities such as Christmas carolling, Solstice alley parties and porch parties with VCU musicians, 1520 Grove is just around the corner from the Lombardy Market and favorite Fan restaurants, wine shops, markets, parks, VCU and the VMFA as well. A house of substance, authenticity and understated grandeur, 1520 Grove Avenue is a delight in every way.
