## Description

### Agent Description
Imagine living within a half-mile of restaurants, breweries, bakeries, coffee shops, and the natural beauty of the James River and Forest Hill Park! 1303 W 42nd Street pairs the classic charm of a 1929 brick home with the thoughtful, modern updates today's buyers expect. A paver driveway sets the tone, leading through the gabled portico into a foyer with a beautifully turned staircase. The first floor offers fantastic flow for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring beautiful hardwood floors, formal living and dining rooms, a renovated kitchen with slate flooring and in-floor radiant heating, a bright breakfast nook, and a flexible office or playroom with a full bath, laundry area, and private side entrance. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms (one small) and an updated hall bath filled with natural light. The air-conditioned attic works nicely as a guest room, play room, or home office. The finished, dry basement (with sink and refrigerator) adds even more usable space for a family room, game room, or gym. Outdoor living is just as appealing with a deck, patio, and fully fenced backyard. You will love the renovated shed (wired for electricity) with its glass-paneled French doors and kayak rack -- ideal for a studio, workspace, or additional storage. Forest Hill attractions include the Music in the Park summer concert series, 43rd Street Festival of the Arts, the Run For The Hills! 5K, and the weekly South of the James farmer's market. Major system updates include two-zone HVAC (2021), relined gas flue (2021), basement waterproofing and plumbing improvements (2021), third-floor mini-split (2022), gas water heater (2022), EV charger (2024), and a whole-house surge protector (2025). A classic home surrounded by popular gathering places and scenic beauty in one of Richmond's most loved neighborhoods...1303 W 42nd Street is truly special.
