Setting takes center stage in this pair of Virginia residences, where daily life is shaped as much by the view as by the home itself. In Richmond, a 1941 brick-and-slate Colonial Revival faces Forest Hill Park, blending enduring architecture with thoughtful updates and the character of a cherished historic neighborhood. Farther west in Wirtz, an updated five-bedroom retreat claims open-water exposure on a level point lot, with 156± feet of riprap shoreline and a newly rebuilt double-slip boathouse with cabana.

Along the water’s edge in Wirtz, this updated home is oriented to open water views and an easygoing lake rhythm. The five-bedroom, 3.5-bath layout is paired with a two-car garage, while a new double detached garage adds welcome flexibility for storage and everyday gear. Outside, a level point lot stretches to 156± feet of riprap shoreline, creating a crisp edge to the water and a natural place to linger. The newly rebuilt double-slip boathouse includes a cabana, setting the stage for long afternoons that drift from sun to shade without leaving the dock. Described as move-in ready, the property reads as a comfortable waterfront base—designed for mornings on the water and unhurried returns home.
