The David Prosser House, built in 1882. This historic freestanding home is located in the heart of the St. John’s Church Historic District, just half a block from Libby Hill Park and Chimborazo Playground. It offers two wood-burning fireplaces, generous living spaces, and abundant natural light — a rarity in a neighborhood where many homes are attached. The large kitchen is designed for serious cooking and entertaining, featuring a central island with a prep sink, bar seating, an Enclume pot rack, and room for a breakfast table. Appliances include two built-in Wolf electric ovens (one traditional/convection and one steam/convection), a Wolf gas cooktop with Bosch hood, a Sub-Zero French door refrigerator with bottom freezer, an under-counter Sub-Zero refrigerator, a Bosch dishwasher, and dual garbage disposals. A spacious walk-in pantry provides additional storage. Upstairs, a light-filled open gallery with skylights and solar shades offers flexible bonus space or a home office and leads directly to the generous primary suite, which includes a walk-in shower, dual vanities, and ample closet space. Beyond the gallery, a separate hallway leads to two additional bedrooms and a full hall bath. A laundry room with a soaking sink and a covered rear porch overlooking the backyard complete the upper level. Outdoors, the deep, fully fenced backyard is ideal for entertaining, with a large brick patio, a wood-burning fireplace, a built-in Fire Magic two-burner gas grill with side burner, and lush landscaping with grass, trees, and shrubs. Additional features include two-zone HVAC, an EV charger, and off-street paved parking. This well-appointed home offers privacy, space, and a prime location within one of Richmond’s most cherished neighborhoods.
