About this home
Ideally positioned directly across from Byrd Park in Richmond’s Carillon neighborhood, 816 Blanton Avenue offers a rare opportunity to acquire an architecturally significant city estate on a .344-acre double lot. The primary residence—an American Foursquare with Queen Anne influences—is believed to have been designed or inspired by architect Carl Max Lindner Sr., who resided in the home in the late 1910s. Notable architectural details include bracketed eaves, projecting bays, and original diamond-pane dormer windows. The home includes four bedrooms, two and a half baths, and over 2,500 square feet of interior space, plus a partial basement with additional utility. At the rear of the property, accessible from Walpole Street, a detached three-car garage includes unfinished space above—well suited for a future accessory dwelling unit, guest suite, or studio. This structure sits on a portion of the parcel that may present a future development opportunity, subject to city approval. Recent capital improvements include HVAC systems replaced in 2023 and 2024, a new roof in 2025, multiple window upgrades (with original stained and leaded glass preserved), and updated appliances including a 2023 microwave and 2024 dishwasher. With protected views of Byrd Park, walkable access to Carytown, The Fan, and the city’s premier recreational and cultural amenities, this property offers both immediate livability and long-term potential in one of Richmond’s most established neighborhoods. A distinctive offering in both scale and provenance. Don't let this unicorn slip away!
