Known historically as the Hummel House, or Hill Crest by the James, 5103 Cary Street Road is among Richmond's most distinguished Tudor Revival estates of the late 1920s, designed by Carl Max Lindner Sr. for J.P. Hummel with grounds by Charles F. Gillette, carefully restored by a previous owner with conservation minded attention to the leaded glass, masonry, metalwork and original Gillette gardens, then raised to another level entirely by the current owners through a masterfully executed two-story wing addition by Mako Builders delivering a showpiece kitchen with Sub-Zero refrigeration, Wolf range and appliances, Carrara marble countertops, custom white inset cabinetry and a stunning round bay window, a sunken family room with covered porch access, and above, a full primary wing with a long hallway of walk-in closets, laundry, double vanities, water closets, floor-to-ceiling two-story windows and a private covered balcony overlooking the lush grounds, a second primary suite with spacious bedroom and custom tiled bath, two additional bedrooms each with ensuite baths, and a finished lower level with golf simulator, outdoor exit and wine cellar potential, all set on 2.52 acres across three parcels with frontage on both Cary Street and Hillcrest, three gated entries with custom doors and code access, a slate circle driveway centered on a stone well, a private interior parking court ideal for entertaining, an oversized three-car garage with custom wood doors, a saltwater gunite pool flanked by Gillette-style gardens and lush landscaping, geothermal HVAC, whole-property generator, elevator, lightning protection, security system, radon system and hardwood floors throughout, and all of it minutes from Libbie and Grove, Carytown, the James River parks and everything that makes Richmond such a special place to live.
