Located in RVA’s beloved Northside, 2916 Montrose Ave is a stunning Colonial Revival–style American Foursquare that beautifully blends timeless character with thoughtful modern updates. From the hipped slate roof to the wide covered front porch with its newer standing-seam metal roof, every exterior detail makes an impression. Step inside through the original front door - framed by classic sidelights and a transom - and you’re greeted by an inviting foyer anchored by a gorgeous staircase featuring two ornate newel posts. Throughout the home, you’ll find original hardwood floors, multiple soapstone fireplaces, and elegant transom windows that speak to its rich history. The dining room with fireplace flows seamlessly into a spacious living room, creating an ideal setting for entertaining. The updated kitchen delivers both style and function with custom soft-close, dovetail cabinetry, a large island with seating, granite counters, stylish pendant and recessed lighting, and stainless steel appliances. A flexible first-floor primary suite (currently used as a home office) offers a chic ensuite with a granite-topped vanity and a tile-surround tub/shower. A generously sized laundry room completes the main level. Upstairs, you’ll find four large bedrooms, each offering ample closet space, transom windows, and additional soapstone fireplaces. A full hallway bath with a granite vanity and tile-surround tub/shower serves the upper level. Outside, enjoy a large rear deck, spacious yard, new privacy fence, and off-street parking. A partial basement provides excellent storage. Practical updates include dual-zone HVAC with a backup gas boiler, two water heaters, vinyl windows, and vinyl siding - giving you comfort and peace of mind. Best of all, you’re just an easy stroll to neighborhood favorites like The Smokey Mug, Julio’s Bagels, Slay Burger, and more. This home is the perfect blend of historic charm, modern convenience, and walkable living in one of Northside’s most sought-after pockets.
