Edge Hill: A Piece of Virginia History

Imagine owning a 3 acre farmette less than five minutes from Church Hill, Rocketts Landing, the Capital Trail, and the James River. Welcome to Edge Hill, a circa 1840 Greek Revival ”raised cottage” nestled among mature hardwoods and magnolias on the edge of the city. Listed on both the Virginia and National Registers of Historic Places, Edge Hill earned an extraordinary 39 out of 40 points during its historic evaluation, recognizing its exceptional architectural integrity and significance. Inside, soaring 11-foot ceilings, wide-plank heart pine floors, plaster walls, transom windows, pocket doors, and original cast-iron fireplace surrounds create a home that feels straight out of a movie. Fully fenced and set on three acres, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy privacy, space for pets, gardens, and a true country lifestyle while remaining moments from downtown Richmond. With exciting growth, new schools, and continued investment throughout Varina, there’s never been a better time to call this special corner of Henrico home. Edge Hill is more than a house, it’s a piece of Virginia history. Included with sale is parcel 801-707-1459 for a total of 3.028 acres.
