Richmond, VA 23220 106 N Shields Avenue

Few homes capture the timeless charm of the Fan quite like this detached 1910 corner rowhouse, with its distinctive façade and beautifully preserved character. Its white-painted brick, pale blue architectural accents, slate mansard roofline, flagstone porch and new iron railings make a memorable first impression. Inside, sunlight streams through windows on three sides, revealing 11' ceilings and the original hardwood floors. The gracious living room centers on a gas fireplace with its original cast-iron cover, and custom bookshelves flank the dining room. Beyond it, the eat-in kitchen has quartz counters, gas cooking, newer appliances, and laundry and pantry space. Upstairs, three bedrooms include a primary with an oversized closet, and a rear bedroom opening to an enchanting second-floor covered porch. In 2025, interior designer Anne Pulliam redesigned both baths with designer tile and fixtures, custom cabinetry and a heated marble floor in the full bath, and created custom mudroom drop-zone built-ins. Off the kitchen, a screened porch overlooks a privacy-fenced courtyard garden with stone-walled planting beds, a pergola and drip irrigation, creating a private little world for morning coffee or evening cocktails. Upgrades include two new HVAC systems and a new gas water heater. Tucked on a quiet block between Floyd and Grove, just a stroll from Strawberry Street, Shields Market and Joe’s Inn, this is city living with a sense of privacy and a character all its own.
