High above Riverside Drive in Westover Hills, the Tower House is a striking glass and steel home originally designed by Richmond architect David Johannas, with interiors later reimagined by custom builder Mark Franko. This four-story modern residence offers sweeping views and a rare connection to nature in the heart of the city. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the home with natural light, offering three bedrooms, two full and two half baths, and elegant living and entertaining spaces with two gas fireplaces. The main-level primary suite is a true retreat with a spa-inspired bath that includes a soaking tub, double sinks and heated floors. A chef's dream kitchen designed by Lux Nest in Chicago features Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, quartzite counters, custom cabinetry, and gorgeous views over a landscaped patio with fountains. The lower-level has two bedrooms, laundry, granite bar with seating, beverage center and wine locker, and a walk-out family room with private access to the hillside gardens. Several outdoor seating areas include a dramatic wrap-around deck from the living and dining room, and a stairway of Pennsylvania Bluestone that leads you down to the Buttermilk Trails. The tower's upper floors offer a commanding view of the Carillon, and seasonal views of the James River and downtown skyline. Newer HVAC's, hot water heater, and home generator, plus outdoor security cameras and solar panels are just a few of the added benefits. Rear carport for two and additional off street parking, complete with multiple outdoor sheds and pull down stairs on top of carport for storage. A celebrated property, featured in several publications and a stop on the 2024 Historic Garden Tour. Owner Agent.
