Set on the corner of West Franklin and Roseneath, this 1927 brick Tudor occupies a notable position on the Museum District’s Gaslight Block, one of Richmond’s most distinctive residential settings. Designed by Carl M. Lindner, the home reflects the architectural character associated with his Tudor work, including leaded glass windows, arched doorways, beamed ceilings, slate roofing, and well-proportioned rooms. The main level offers a formal living room with fireplace, office or study with French and arched doors, morning room, gracious foyer, and an open-plan dining and kitchen area created through a substantial renovation. The current owner has completed approximately $200,000 in improvements, including the kitchen renovation and the completion of the basement with heat and air conditioning. Upstairs are four bedrooms and two full baths, including a primary bedroom with leaded windows. The newly finished basement adds conditioned living space and includes an added half bath, bringing the home to two full baths and two half baths. The property also includes central air, radiator heat, wood flooring noted throughout much of the home, and original architectural detailing. A rare detached two-car brick garage with slate roof, fenced rear area, front and rear porches, screened porch, irrigation, and established garden spaces add meaningful utility and character. The location is exceptional, with proximity to the Museum District, Monument Avenue, museums, dining, and neighborhood amenities. The Gaslight Block is recognized for its gas-burning street lamps, long-standing neighborhood traditions, and strong sense of community, contributing to the limited turnover on this stretch of West Franklin Street.
