Nestled on a wooded lot in the Southside of Richmond, Virginia, this breathtaking mid-century modern renovation represents a poignant return to one's roots for a couple who recently relocated from the sunny climes of California. Finding limited options for authentic mid-century modern homes in the area, they embarked on an ambitious journey to transform a classic residence into a timeless masterpiece, blending the minimalist design sensibilities of the mid-century era with their vision of contemporary elegance.
With the help of Interior Designer Nicole Rutledge (Nicole Rutledge Design), Designer Chris Snowden (Christian Snowden Design) and contracting company Spruce Construction, the existing home, surrounded by lush greenery and majestic trees, underwent a meticulous transformation to capture the essence of mid-century modern style, embracing clean lines, open spaces, and an uncluttered aesthetic.
Throughout the interior, a neutral color palette is celebrated, featuring soft tones of whites and warm wood accents that seamlessly complement the natural surroundings. Large, open windows and a custom zen garden off of the Primary Suite welcome the outdoors in .
The heart of this home is the expansive open-plan living space that effortlessly flows from the living room to the dining area and the modern kitchen. A minimalistic Malm fireplace, surrounded by clean-lined furnishings and iconic mid-century furniture, provides a cozy focal point for family gatherings. The kitchen is a masterpiece of timeless design, featuring sleek, flat-front cabinetry, quartz countertops, and top-of-the-line appliances.
A true testament to the homeowners' love for their family and their desire to create a space that accommodates the changing dynamics of life, this home features a stunning outdoor oasis. A sleek, inviting pool and surrounding lounging areas offer a place for relaxation and recreation, perfect for spending quality time with their grandchildren and friends.
This mid-century modern renovation in Richmond is more than a beautiful home; it's a labor of love that honors the roots of the homeowners while embracing the values of today. It's a place where past and present merge seamlessly, and where a passion for design, nature, and family converge to create a haven of warmth, sophistication, and understated luxury.
