Property details

About 5307 Gillespie Ave

Cute Bungalow in Lakeside...very accessible to restaurants, shops and parks. Location lends itself to being no more than 10 minutes to downtown Richmond...great for those working at MCV, VCU college students and professionals who like to live close to the nightlife and those events that Richmond offers on a daily basis. Off street asphalt driveway parking is an added bonus completed after 2017. The seller was told the roof was new in 2017 when she bought the house. The windows are replacements prior to 2017. The kitchen was renovated in 2020...white cabinets, stove, refrigerator, garbage disposal and granite counters! (dishwasher 2017) The bathroom was upgraded and new vanity was installed this spring. Hot water tank was replaced in 2021. There is a partial cellar with concrete floor and partial crawl with vapor barrier. Wide Covered Front Porch for those laid-back chill evenings to watch the world go by. The rear of the house has a large, uncovered porch with wrought iron railings for taking a breather as you enjoy working in the back yard. Seller is conveying the washer and dryer. Laundry room accesses to the rear yard and porch. Seller loves her yard with dogwoods, magnolia, dawn redwood tree and the plants include Lenten roses, peonies, David Austin roses and mountain laurel. Perfect for enjoying all the seasons. Overall charm and character and all the quirks of an older home! Sheds convey.
