Description
5210 Riverside Drive offers a rare combination of custom craftsmanship, modern systems, and iconic views of the Atlantic Coastline Bridge. Set on a corner lot, this home was designed with intention at every turn: red oak floors, custom cherry woodwork, etched-glass pocket doors in the dining room, crown moulding that reflects the bridge's lines, and a grand stairwell with a custom runner depicting the James River. The living room is a standout, with a dramatic wall of windows that frame some of the home's best views and fill the space with natural light. It's a showpiece that balances everyday comfort with unforgettable scenery. The kitchen is equipped with Wolf appliances (cooktop, oven, and outdoor grill), a Gaggenau steam oven, Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, beverage fridge, and dual sinks and dishwashers. Seamless hidden ventilation keeps the design clean, while high-end finishes make this space both functional and striking. The primary suite features two beautiful bathrooms and two closets. Three additional bedrooms, three additional full baths, two half baths, and large flexible family rooms/living spaces upstairs and in the basement complete the layout. Additional amenities include a wine cellar, elevator, sauna, library with custom bookcases, workshop, whole-house recessed programmable lighting, screened porch with heated slate floors, patio overlooking the river, landscaped grounds with 100-year-old boxwoods and a fish pond with a fountain. The home is as practical as it is beautiful: heated front stoop, slate roof, two-car garage, Juliet balcony, laundry with drying cabinet, three attic spaces (one conditioned), a separate commercial-grade mechanical room, 2024 HVAC update with humidistat & multiple heating/cooling zones, whole-house generator, Pella windows, irrigation, and wiring for whole-house sound. Blending architectural detail with modern systems and enduring design, this residence offers a one-of-a-kind opportunity on Riverside Drive.
