While a West End mansion took the top spot, two houses in Chesterfield’s Hallsley neighborhood – including one featured in this year’s Homearama showcase – were among the top five home sales in the Richmond area last month.
The top sale for October was 5103 Cary Street Road, the nearly 6,000-square-foot former home of Bill and Pam Royall that sold Oct. 28 for $2.5 million. Bill Gallasch of Joyner Fine Properties had that listing.
Two of the remaining four homes on the list are both in Hallsley: 15713 Beedon Drive, a 5,700-square-foot custom-build that sold Oct. 21 for $1.5 million; and 2331 Cheverton Lane, a 5,600-square-foot Homearama entry that sold Oct. 14 for $1.09 million.
Kristin Krupp of Long & Foster had the Beedon Drive listing, which sold above its Sept. 4 list price of $1.4 million. The house – October’s third-highest sale, according to data from the Central Virginia Regional Multiple Listing Service –was built by Bel Arbor Builders, which Krupp represents as part of Long & Foster’s The Beran Group.
Property records list the buyers as Seth and Naruemon Cheatham. Seth Cheatham is an orthopedic surgeon and associate professor with VCU Sports Medicine Clinic.
Krupp said the four-bedroom, 4½-bathroom home is in Hallsley’s first section, where she said Bel Arbor had been holding onto the 1-acre lot.
“We were really lucky, because we needed to have a good-size lot to fit a home of that caliber,” Krupp said.
The stone-sided home was custom-designed by Mike Foltz of Richmond-based firm McAllister + Foltz Architecture. Details include a barrel-vaulted ceiling in the dining room and outdoor living spaces.
Krupp noted that Bel Arbor built Hallsley’s Richmond Symphony Designer House in 2014, which she said attracted several high-end homebuyers that included the Cheathams. Krupp served as their buyer agent while also representing Bel Arbor as the listing agent.
The month’s fifth-highest sale was 2331 Cheverton Lane, which sold at its asking price of $1.09 million. The six-bedroom, 5½ -bath house was listed May 29 by Donald Cahoon of Keller Williams Realty.
Property records list the buyers as Firas and Allega G. Kaddaha. Firas Kaddaha is a cardiovascular doctor at Southside Regional Medical Center in Petersburg and Emporia. The couple was represented by Chris Pandel of Long & Foster.
Cahoon, who sold the house on behalf of Richmond builder Homeplaces Ltd., said the Kaddahas purchased the home after only viewing it through the FaceTime app with Pandel.
“They never actually came in and viewed the home prior to writing a contract,” Cahoon said, adding that the home – one of nine featured in this year’s Homearama, which focused specifically on million-dollar homes – included virtual tour technology through Matterport, a 3-D media technology system for real estate.
Cahoon said Southside Regional gave Kaddaha permission to buy a home more than 30 minutes away from its hospitals, specifically because they wanted to be in Hallsley.
“They OK’d it, and it was history from there,” he said.
Distinct for its wrap-around porch, serving pantry and curved staircase, the two-story house appealed to the Kaddahas for its “old Richmond” design, Cahoon said.
“Bringing the old-town Richmond out to Hallsley is what you’re seeing with all the houses,” Cahoon said. “We bought that staircase out of Atlanta, and the newel post is similar to some of the newel posts you’ll see in some of the homes in Shockoe and the Fan.”
Cahoon said he got the listing through his relationship with Homeplaces and other custom homebuilders such as TimberCreek Building & Design. He said he recently relisted TimberCreek’s Homearama home, next door to the Kaddahas’ at 2325 Cheverton Lane, with an asking price of $1.16 million.
“That was actually one that sold during the show,” Cahoon said. “East West (Communities, Hallsley’s developer) did a wonderful job marketing Homearama. We had over 20,000 people there. Some of those people just love to look at homes, maybe not all being homebuyers, and it gave them a nice assortment to look at.”
Hallsley recently started selling lots in its newest section, The Woodlands, which will consist of 1-acre lots with homes in the $1 million range. As of September, the community had more than 15 $1 million homes that had been sold or were under construction this year.
Rounding out the top five home sales for October were: in the second-highest spot, 12740 Ellington Woods Place in Henrico’s Ellington Woods at Wyndham, at $1.6 million; and in the fourth-highest spot, 6101 Three Chopt Road in Richmond, which sold for $1.3 million.
