Reminiscent of an era of past graciousness in living, 205 Ampthill Road offers all the warmth, elegance, and privacy of a well-loved country estate yet the ultimate convenience of city living. Located in one of Richmond's premier neighborhoods, this European-inspired all-brick, slate roof, copper-guttered home welcomes you with a generous entry hall and beautifully turned staircase. Triple crown moldings add character as you move through an arched doorway into a grand living room with large fireplace. Through paneled doors, enter a casual den with wet bar, fireplace, and back stair access to the primary bedroom. An enclosed sunroom with floor-to-ceiling windows opens through French doors to an outdoor garden. Off the entry is an elegant dining room with bay windows overlooking an English garden patio, enhanced by hand-carved built-in corner cabinets. The oversized eat-in kitchen features custom birch cabinets, granite countertops, large island, Sub-Zero fridge, Viking range, and two dishwashers: Miele & Asko. Nearby is a one-car garage with storage and a large family room with gas fireplace, gorgeous palladium window and French doors to an enclosed breezeway. Upstairs offers four bedrooms, including an oversized primary suite with private en-suite Restoration Hardware bath and adjacent sitting/dressing room with wood burning fireplace and custom closets. Additional bedrooms provide flexible layouts with hall and en-suite baths. The third level includes a fifth bedroom with new en-suite bath, while a large attic offers storage or more expansion potential. The lower level includes a recreation room as well as a laundry/utility space with exterior access. A welcoming cobblestone apron on the paved circular driveway greets you with ample parking, while the spacious rear grounds are perfect for entertaining. Mature landscaping surrounds a charming parterre garden with year-round color. Offered for the first time in 32 years by only its second owners, this is an extraordinary home that is not to be missed.
