Rarely does such an extraordinary opportunity come
along to purchase a home of this quality, located in one
of Richmond’s premier and sophisticated neighborhoods.
10 Wilton Road is now available for consideration by
discerning buyers and is located south of Cary Street
Road and east of Three Chopt Road. Towering trees,
beautifully designed and maintained landscaping and
magnificent custom homes handed down for generations
anchor this neighborhood.
Special features of this property are numerous. On
arrival, the recently replanted and custom designed
gardens greet visitors behind the charming arched gate
crafted by Brattleworks of New England. The English
arbor and French gate accent the striking “ornamental
tree forest” along with the charming sitting area and fountain. Privacy considerations were addressed for the two
terraces – a covered one at the rear of the home below the deck and the other outside the lower level study. Extensive
slate and bluestone pathways lead through the gardens and lawn areas. Mature plantings on all sides of the property
offer an extremely private setting.
Parking areas include off-street parking along Wilton
Road, in addition to the cobblestone-edged paved parking
area also along Wilton Road.
The in-ground pool, surrounded by a slate and concrete
terrace and privately hidden behind a wrought iron fence
and painted brick wall along the street side, provides a
sunny relaxing oasis and is accessible from the front
gardens, the main level sunroom, and from the lower level
office. It is five-feet deep with plaster and painted block
(repainted in 2010), and was upgraded with new
mechanicals in 2011.
Extensive drainage systems installed recently include a French drain system along the front of the house, the pool,
under the side terrace and around the lower level office, all of which drain into the property’s drainage system. Another
drainage system leads down to the lower dry creek bed and out to the lower rear area of the property.
Other features include many interior renovations and updates, making this home extremely convenient for today’s
active lifestyles. Multi-member, exquisitely crafted crown and chair rail mouldings, lovely hardwood floors, and
materials and appliances of the finest quality anchor the interiors. An exquisitely designed and installed kitchen along
with the elegant master bedroom suite and many inviting living spaces enhance the sought-after charm and character of
the original structure. Many of the interiors are faux finished and glazed, adding Old World charm at every turn!
One of the most dramatic additions is the lower level study, designed by the seller. The rich raised pine paneling with
wood graining based on boxwood was done by Bonnie Thomas and is topped with burled walnut crown moulding.
The base cap trim is designed along the Old English method of milling trim. At the ceiling, the columns and lentil
crown are based on ancient Egyptian architecture. This true masterpiece took many years to complete, resulting in a
magnificent renovation accented with a gas-log fireplace and handsome built-in cabinetry.
We hope you will take time to appreciate the many lovely details of this home, and we also hope you enjoy your visit!
