Before the house even hit the market, buyers bid $800,000 above asking price – sight unseen – to snag the priciest home sold in the Richmond area last month.
The 5,600-square-foot house at 406 S. Mooreland Road sold for $3 million June 24, two months after it went under contract before a planned April listing at $2.17 million.
The scenario played out after the house was entered in the Central Virginia Regional Multiple Listing Service as a “coming soon” property, said listing agent Annemarie Hensley with Compass.

“It went under contract before anybody saw the house. We had 11 showings set up for Friday, and we had a sight-unseen offer sent to us late into the evening before we were supposed to start showings,” she said.
Hensley worked the deal for sellers Michael and Kristin Goldman, who bought the house two years ago for the same price – $2.17 million – that Hensley planned to list the house at.
Mike Goldman is a partner at downtown law firm Hunton Andrews Kurth. Hensley wouldn’t say if the Goldmans are remaining local.
Property records list the buyers as Chris and Courtney Baker. They were represented by Carrie Robeson with The Steele Group | Sotheby’s International Realty. Robeson said she couldn’t comment on the Bakers or the transaction.
Located in Mooreland Farms in western Henrico, the Georgian Revival-style house was built in 1968 on a 1.1-acre lot and has five bedrooms, four bathrooms and two half-baths.
It has an upstairs primary bedroom, marble-tiled foyer and a walkout basement with a rec room, office and workshop.
The property is assessed by the county at nearly $1.9 million and is doors down from another top-five topper: 204 S. Mooreland Road, which sold for $3.5 million as the No. 1 sale in March.
Rounding out June’s top five sales, according to CVRMLS, were four deals at or above the $2 million mark, including two homes doors apart from each other in Henrico’s Henley neighborhood that were both sold by the same agent:
12308 Ellaberry Lane, Henley, Henrico – $2.3 million. Listing agent: Bridget Hodgson, Samson Properties; buyer’s agent: Ronald Evans, Long & Foster.
12324 Haybrook Lane, Henley, Henrico – $2.2 million. Listing agent: Bridget Hodgson, Samson Properties; buyer’s agent: Susan Jones, Steele Group | SIR.
6020 Saint Andrews Lane, Richmond – $2.1 million. Listing agents: James Ransone and Donna Ransone, Long & Foster; buyer’s agent: Jane Vick Gill, Long & Foster.
306 Beechwood Drive, Henrico – $2.05 million. Listing agent: Michelle Ferguson, Long & Foster; buyer’s agent: Reagan Cox, Long & Foster.

Dang!
I bought a $20 candle on Amazon sight unseen; where’s my article?!
That makes no sense. Anyone as reckless as you is probably in financial collapse. And for what? — a scented chunk of wax?
Wow! Congrats to the sellers and buyers.
