106 N Shields Ave, Richmond, VA 23220

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.
