Built in 1926 and known locally as "The Normandy House" for its steep, European storybook rooflines, 2500 Lowell Avenue has been held by the same family for 100 years, including as the home of noted Richmond civic and environmental leaders Barbara and Jay Vincent, whose legacy is honored at nearby Barbara and Jay Vincent Park. This eight-room, two-story home offers a rare combination of original 1920s character and genuine flexibility for what comes next. Inside, the bones of a classic Normandy-style home remain throughout: a formal living room with original detailing ready to shine again, a sun-filled family room addition from the 1950s anchored by a wall of windows, a kitchen with a skylight and space to reimagine as a true showpiece, a dining room with built-in corner cabinetry for a future butler's pantry or bar, and upstairs bedrooms with dormer windows framing views toward Mount Tam. A workshop shed, garage, and finished attic space round out the property, along with owned solar, a newer roof, and a private back patio and garden beds shielded from seasonal winds. This home is ready for a buyer with vision to bring it back to its former glory, whether through a sensitive historic restoration or a full modern renovation that preserves the character. And the opportunity extends well beyond the house itself. The property is zoned for medium-density multi-family use, opening a wide range of paths forward for the next owner or developer: add an ADU to the existing home for extra living space or rental income; split the lot and pair a renovated main house with a new single-family home, or a single-family home plus ADU; split the lot and pair a renovated main house with a new multi-family building; or clear the lot entirely and develop multiple separate multi-family projects. Whether the vision is a lovingly restored century home, an income-generating addition, or a ground-up redevelopment, 2500 Lowell offers a rare foothold in one of Richmond's most desirable communities with real, flexible upside on the land and a chance to honor a century of history while shaping what comes next.

Cherished by the same family since 1950, 673 39th Street carries 76 years of history while offering the comforts of a thoughtfully modernized home. Over the years, the family expanded the property with an additional bedroom and spacious family room, creating an inviting layout designed for comfortable living and gathering. Today, contemporary updates blend seamlessly with its established character, including recessed lighting, fresh paint, tile accents, new heating and air conditioning, a 200-amp electrical system with EV charging, a tankless water heater, updated appliances, and stone countertops in the kitchen and baths. Outdoors, the refreshed front yard features a lush lawn, new landscaping, and new irrigation, while the backyard is anchored by four established fruit trees—orange, lemon, apple and fig—currently in bloom.
