Welcome to 7473 Riverside Drive — a rare riverfront retreat. On the market for the first time, this custom-built Colonial offers sweeping, unobstructed views of the James River. Mature landscaping frames the home on its acre-plus lot, creating a private setting. Step through the solid wood front door into a wide foyer with 9+ foot ceilings and wide-plank hardwood floors. The sunken great room makes a breathtaking impression with its vaulted ceiling, floor-to-ceiling Palladian window, and stone gas fireplace—all showcasing panoramic river views. The recently renovated kitchen blends timeless character with modern luxury, featuring custom cabinetry, an antique island, Wolf appliances, and soapstone countertops. A mudroom and private staircase to the primary suite sit just off the kitchen. Also off the kitchen a large Trex deck extends the living space outdoors. The formal dining room, with custom millwork and a gas fireplace, creates an elegant setting for entertaining and connects seamlessly to both kitchen and foyer. On the opposite side of the foyer are two 1st-floor bedrooms and a full bath. Upstairs, the primary suite is a serene retreat with fireplace, walk-in closet, and ensuite with double vanity and walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms share a newly renovated bath with soaking tub and glass shower. The laundry room rounds out the 2nd floor. The walk-out lower level includes a rec room with pool table and the elevated “river room,” complete with a wall of windows, entertaining kitchen with dishwasher, and beverage fridge, and unforgettable views of the James. An attached 2-car garage opens directly to this level for convenience. Step outside to exceptional outdoor living—a level landscaped backyard, 2-story deck, bluestone patio with gas firepit, and a rare additional riverfront parcel on Riverside Drive. Launch a kayak from your backyard and paddle into the heart of Richmond. A once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a turnkey riverfront home with scenery, space, and style unmatched in the city.
