307 OAK LN, RICHMOND, VA 23226

Built in 1922, 307 Oak Lane is a rare architectural treasure designed by Carl Lindner, Sr. and is the second home constructed in Hampton Gardens. Rich in history and character, this distinguished residence blends timeless craftsmanship with thoughtful modern updates. Featured on the 2021 Historic Garden Week Tour, other notable moments in the home’s past include violinist Isaac Stern performing in the living room as a guest of a former Richmond Symphony Foundation chair, and a crape myrtle in the rear garden gifted to previous owners by The White House during the Truman era. ***This beautiful home offers four bedrooms, three full baths, one half bath and features 10-foot ceilings, transomed doors, two indoor fireplaces, and a Buckingham slate roof in a rare irregular pattern favored by Lindner. Elegant details include a geometric diamond design in the front hall floor and Italian stucco walls in the sunroom, both by decorative painter Anne Thompson. A significant 2013 renovation by architect Charles Aquino and builder Chip Spitzer expanded the home to include a new primary suite, a second-floor laundry room, and a new open-concept kitchen and family room addition at the rear of the home, seamlessly integrating modern comforts while preserving the home’s historic integrity. ***The property's professionally designed grounds and outdoor living spaces are a stunning backdrop for hosting family and friends. French doors from all main-level rooms open to terraces, including the family room’s access to the covered bluestone porch, creating seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Built in 2018 by Gardner Construction, the porch features a wood burning fireplace, television, fans, and sound system - perfect for year-round entertainment. Additional features include a courtyard with water feature (masonry by David Aldrige and Craddock Masonry), fenced kitchen and herb garden, original entrance columns repurposed as garden focal points, custom copper outdoor lanterns by Carolina Lanterns, a 19’ x 14’ shed with French doors, a Richmond granite cobblestone-edged driveway that can accommodate three cars, and a bluestone walkway bordered by original brick. This is a truly special offering - where architectural pedigree, historic provenance, and modern livability come together in one extraordinary home.
