Designed by famed Richmond architect Marcellus Wright Jr., whose work includes the Altria Theatre and John Marshall Hotel, this distinctive 1950 home was built for the Schwarzschild family of Richmond and evokes old Hollywood elegance. A grand foyer opens to a library and impressive living room with a dramatic bay window. French doors lead to an expansive family/sunroom overlooking a boxwood garden inspired by renowned landscape architect Charles Gillette, with original plans available. Tremendous landscaping has been added since. A garden room with coffered ceiling leads to the remarkable 20x27 owners retreat with two large picture windows and en-suite bath.
