6311 Three Chopt Road

Welcome to Rosewood circa 1910, one of the originals of the Three Chopt District. This Grand “Classic Revival style” home is situated on one of the largest lots in the area with over 2.5 acres of land. The home was designed to offer privacy in town with established walking trails and gardens just outside your front door.

The property rests between Towana and Three Chopt Roads with an entrance on each side. The 4-level, 7 bedrooms, 5.5 bath home with multiple additional living spaces has 7460 sqft of above grade living space with a thoughtful and spacious plan on each floor. The center hall and staircase allow for the light to filter to each floor and enables you to feel connected to each level. Formal spaces, library, sunroom with brick paver floors, bedroom suite on the first floor, mudroom, custom pantry, builtins, and a bright and airy kitchen. Ample space for entertaining, updated systems, custom kitchen and archways designed by Dan Ensminger with Martin-Starr cabinets throughout. Enjoy the natural Carrera marble countertops, Subzero, Wolf, Bosch appliances and wet bar in the Butler’s Pantry. The 3rd floor was renovated with a family room with three bedrooms flanking on each side with baths. Gleaming pine floors throughout, casings, millwork, and each space was designed to align with the original building style.

The basement has great storage options, updated efficient boiler and hot water heater, slate and copper roof, and an expansive front porch! Bonus storage space under the first-floor bedroom. If you are looking for space to grow, this property has multiple options for added structures, pool, or just keep it private like it is. One of Richmond’s best homes that you never knew was there!

Entry hall chandelier was custom fabricated in RVA and installed in 2013.

HISTORY OF ROSELAND

Included in this early cluster is 6311 Three Chopt Road (127-6064-0054), located on the west side of Three Chopt Road across from the Hampton Park houses. Built in 1910 and named “Rosewood,” the house is situated on one of the district’s largest lots just northwest of the intersection of Three Chopt Road and Towana Road. The house, a grand, eclectic merge of the Second Empire, Queen Anne, and Classical Revival styles, was built for Judge Julien Gunn and his wife, and is by design secluded from Three Chopt Road by its picturesque siting, which faces the house toward the intersection rather than the road, its large lot size, and heavily wooded landscaping.

Waist-height counters in white carrera marble.

All hardware from Renovation Resources in downtown RVA.
