What's around 9 River Road

About this property

This fine residential property was designed & constructed in 1937 & purchased as the estate home for the prominent Gibson family. They wasted no time hiring the famous landscape architect Charles Gillette to design & create the gardens & motor court for the 1.04-acre parcel of land fronting the Country Club of Virginia & nestled into the Hampton Hills neighborhood. Inside you will find luxurious style & detail with a Euro mod kitchen, custom moldings, 8ft French patio doors, a secret stairwell, a built-in Library & much more. Outside the Gardens offer a rare respite from the city as you meander down the brick paths that lead to a graceful fountain. Above the fountain is a patio and stunning main floor masonry porch that showcases the masterfully grown wisteria canopy that was 60 years in the making. While the private entrance drive at the rear of the home provides easy access for daily life, the front motor court was specifically created to provide ample parking for multiple guests that may pop in. Passing through the custom iron gates will surely remind you of how craftsmanship, art & desire can create a sense of fulfilling elegance, truly the pinnacle of life at home in a RVA.

Seller's review

Phil Skaggs made sure we got the best price possible

I interviewed several realtors before selecting Phil. They were all very knowledgeable and professional, but Phil went the extra mile in putting together his presentation. I expected he would do the same when handling the sale, and I was not disappointed! Rather than simply shoot for a quick turnaround at a moderate price, Phil and his talented team made sure the house and landscaping looked like something out of a magazine. At the same time, he executed a detailed marketing campaign, staying one step ahead of the competition at all times. No detail was too small for Phil's attention! While this approach took a bit longer and required some investment of cash upfront, the result was exceptional -- we made back 4x the amount invested and the final sales price was more than 20% higher than the other realtors had estimated (but exactly what Phil had estimated). Phil is hands-on and attends to every detail personally. I never had to worry about something falling through the cracks. I will definitely be calling on him again!
