Just weeks after a smaller house across the street sold for nearly $1 million over asking price, a century-old home in the heart of the Country Club of Virginia’s Westhampton golf course has changed hands in the priciest sale seen in the city in at least a decade.
The Georgian-style house on a 1.3-acre lot at 6124 Saint Andrews Lane sold July 7 to a mystery buyer for $4.12 million, below its May 22 list price of $4.5 million.
Cary Turpin with Joyner Fine Properties represented the buyer, who made the all-cash purchase using an LLC.
The century-old house was built in 1922.

Turpin said she was not at liberty to discuss her client but said the buyer was drawn by several attributes, including the large lot.
“A lot of things about it suited my client,” she said. “There were pieces of the puzzle that all fit together for them: location, the house and the lot.”
The sellers were Basil and Sarah Hurst, who bought the property in 2007 for $2.8 million. The city assessed the property this year at nearly $2.6 million.
Basil “Beau” Hurst is a managing director with credit company Golub Capital’s New York office and is on the MCV Foundation Board of Trustees. Sarah Hurst is an interior designer.
They listed the house with Doug Dorsey with Shaheen, Ruth, Martin & Fonville Real Estate. Dorsey said the listing attracted 10 showings before it was put under contract June 2.

“The interest was great,” Dorsey said. “I still think the higher end is lacking inventory, and there’s still people out there that will come. That was a special property that required a special buyer.”
Built in 1922 and totaling 7,000 square feet, the brick-and-slate house is 2½ stories and has six bedrooms and 5½ renovated bathrooms. It includes a renovated kitchen, formal rooms with French doors, a home office, a wine cellar and a two-car garage.
The westward-facing lot is one of the largest fronting the golf course and features hillside views of the greens toward the river. The house is surrounded with mature boxwoods and other trees and plantings, and the property includes covered and uncovered terraces and has room for a pool to be added.
The sellers have made renovations to the kitchen and bathrooms.
“It’s hard not to love that house; it just was a function of whether it’s in (a buyer’s) time frame and pocketbook,” Dorsey said. “It’s such an iconic property. I doubt it will come back on the market in our lifetime. I think a lot of people were looking at it as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
The sale is the priciest seen within city limits in at least the past 10 years, according to the Central Virginia Regional Multiple Listing Service. The closest to it was 214 S. Wilton Road, which sold for $3.76 million in 2013.
In 2018, the 10,000-square-foot Rothesay mansion at 1234 Rothesay Circle sold for $3.7 million. And this past April, just north of CCV, the century-old Rosewood home at 6311 Three Chopt Road sold for $3.6 million.
A recent listing could be a contender to break the record. Late last month, the 10,000-square-foot house at 5105 Stratford Crescent, just off Cary Street Road, hit the market with a $6.5 million price tag.
Three weeks before 6124 Saint Andrews Lane sold, its across-the-street neighbor at 6120 Saint Andrews sold for $2.53 million – $885,000 above the 4,300-square-foot home’s May list price of $1.65 million.
