Two Major Price Improvements Along Richmond’s River Road Corridor
Few areas in Central Virginia offer the blend of timeless architecture, privacy, and convenience quite like the River Road Corridor. Known for its wooded estates, classic design, and proximity to some of Richmond’s most prestigious schools and hospitals, this area continues to attract discerning buyers looking for refined living just outside the city.
This week, two remarkable homes in the River Notch enclave received major price improvements, creating an incredible opportunity to own new-construction luxury in one of Richmond’s most sought-after locations.
🏡 449 River Notch Drive — Now $1,925,000 (Previously $2,100,000)
A brick Georgian Colonial with timeless curb appeal, 449 River Notch sits on nearly five acres of wooded privacy. From the symmetrical façade and stately brick exterior to the refined interior craftsmanship, this home captures the classic elegance of Richmond’s architectural heritage.
Inside, you’ll find over 6,800 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space featuring wide-plank hardwoods, custom millwork, and a chef’s kitchen with quartzite countertops, Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, and an oversized island perfect for entertaining.
The great room is a showpiece — with a coffered ceiling, double-sided fireplace, and panoramic views of the wooded landscape. The primary suite offers two walk-in closets, a sitting room, and a spa-like bathroom with a soaking tub and walk-in shower overlooking your private acreage.
🏡 445 River Notch Drive — Now $1,700,000 (Previously $1,850,000)
Next door, 445 River Notch features five bedrooms, 5.5 baths, and 2.5 wooded acres. Its open-concept layout and double porches create a seamless indoor-outdoor flow, while designer finishes and custom cabinetry add warmth and sophistication.
Every detail — from the wide-plank floors to the elegant trimwork — reflects a commitment to craftsmanship and comfort. It’s a home built for everyday living and effortless entertaining.
