Welcome to 3815 Benton Avenue—an updated and surprisingly spacious bungalow in Richmond’s sought-after Northside! This 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home offers a perfect blend of classic character and modern comfort, with thoughtful updates throughout. You’ll find gleaming wood floors in most of the home, complemented by ceramic tile in the baths and newly tiled dining room, which feels like a sunroom addition with its abundance of natural light. That light flows beautifully into the kitchen through a large pass-through window, creating a bright and cheerful space for cooking and gathering. The kitchen also features raised panel cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances. The layout is ideal, with three bedrooms conveniently located on the first floor—including a primary suite with a walk-in closet and jetted tub—and two additional bedrooms connected by a Jack-and-Jill bath. Upstairs is a second private primary suite with its own jetted tub, perfect for guests or multigenerational living. Additional improvements include a new foundation under the dining room, an encapsulated crawl space, and updated light and ceiling fan fixtures in the living room, kitchen, dining room, upstairs suite, and hallway. Outside, enjoy a brand-new oversized rear deck for entertaining, a privacy-fenced backyard, and a detached garage with a new electric door and updated electrical system. Solar panels add energy efficiency and savings, with the loan ready to transfer to the new owner. This charming, move-in-ready home is minutes from downtown, highways, parks, and more—offering comfort, style, and convenience in a vibrant community.

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
