Richmond's iconic "Tower House" hit the market late last month, marking the second time the South Richmond home has been listed for sale since its circa-1990s transformation.
Why it matters: It could be yours for a cool $1.875 million.
State of play: The Tower House is a stunning, four-story mid-century home on Riverside Drive in Westover Hills.
- The home boasts three bedrooms, four baths, a wraparound deck, gorgeous gardens, a chef's kitchen, wine locker and four-story glass tower.
Zoom in: But perhaps the most interesting thing about the house is its former life as a "humble 1959 ranch," per Richmond Magazine.
- For its first 30-odd years, the home was a one-story brick rancher until the former owners hired renowned local architect David Johannas to reimagine the design in the early 1990s.
- A mid-2010s interior renovation by the current owners brought the home its modern luxuries.
Fun fact: The home's listing price is exactly $1 million more than what it sold for in 2014, per city property records.
- Richmond real estate, man.
