A 10-year-old house in Goochland’s Rivergate community topped the list of area home sales for the first month of the year.
The 7,500-square-foot brick house at 13265 Apdon Court sold Jan. 21 for $1.5 million, below its listed price last May of $1.59 million.
County property records list the sellers as Richard D. and Keyser H. Glancy Jr. Online records had not been updated with the buyers as of Tuesday.
Long & Foster’s Susan Robins had the listing and represented the Glancys, who she said were looking to downsize. She said the buyers are local.
“It was not a difficult sell,” she said. “During the summer it was a little slow, for various reasons – people are on vacation; school is just letting out. We pretty much had a steady stream (of potential buyers).
“Everywhere in Richmond, there’s been low inventory,” she said. “It’s finally picking up.”
Built in 2006 by Steve Harmon Construction, the five-bedroom, 6½-bath house has three floors that include a first-floor master bedroom and a soundproof theater room.
The house features a two-story foyer, a three-car garage and a covered bluestone porch with a stone fireplace. The porch, which overlooks an adjacent patio, was designed by Dreaming Creek, a Powhatan-based architectural timbering firm.
The second floor also includes a rec room with wet bar, a custom craft room and a cedar closet, while the theater room takes up the majority of the third floor.
The house is situated on a 2-acre lot in Rivergate, a gated community surrounding a lake just west of Henrico County, between River Road and Patterson Avenue across from the West Creek office park.
The neighborhood has seen its share of high-dollar sales, including a former Circuit City exec’s home that sold in 2014 for $1.89 million.
Rounding out the top five sales for January were, according to the Central Virginia Regional Multiple Listing Service:
- 301 Daniels Road, Henrico: $1.35 million
- 6317 Three Chopt Road, Richmond: $1.25 million
- 2430 Founders Bridge Road, Chesterfield: $840,000
- 2012 Channel View Terrace, Meadowview Landing, Chesterfield: $799,500
