By appearances, the nearly century-old house on one of Windsor Farms’ outer blocks isn’t the most remarkable of the homes in the toney West End neighborhood.
But its recent sale at nearly twice its listed price tag is among several turning heads as extreme reflections of how hot Richmond’s housing market has become.
At $2 million, the 5,000-square-foot home at 207 Nottingham Road sold earlier this month for $750,000 more than its list price of $1.25 million.

A local couple’s purchase of a nearly century-old house along Riverside Drive topped Richmond-area home sales last month, edging out several million-dollar deals that included a recently built modern home in Byrd Park.
Topping the list was 7612 Hill Drive, a 7,500-square-foot house on a bluff beside the river that sold March 29 for $2.15 million, below its Jan. 19 list price of $2.49 million.
The buyers are Brian and Stephanie Ford. They were represented by Paul Wierschem with Keller Williams Midlothian.
The rear addition features floor-to-ceiling windows with views of the river.
A Medieval Noblewoman’s Guide to Dressing Up
By Sophie Andrade
A look inside Eleanor de Montfort’s wardrobe, and why it was important for a 13th-century countess to dress extravagantly and beautifully.
People in the Middle Ages liked to layer up. Including underwear and outerwear, an everyday outfit regularly consisted of at least six different garments. There were three main pieces: a tunic, surcoat, and mantle. The tunic, basically a long plain shirt, was worn by both men and women.

Two sets of ties on this year’s list make the 2020 ranking 14 deals deep. And those don’t even include some of the seven-figure sales that turned the most heads this year, with notable names such as Ukrop and Aaron Brooks involved. Even tennis great Billie Jean King took part in the paperwork for a sale that starts off this list.
Teacher’s Diary
Dennis the Menace was a Warner Bros family entertainment comic movie in mid-1993 that grossed a lot of fame and revenue across the world. It also grossed a variety of criticisms – good and bad (naturally).
Like every other great cinematographic work of any time, it took its time to stay on the dance floor, then bowed out when its ovation was high. It innovated in 1998 as ‘Dennis the Menace Strikes Again’ and, yet again in the new millennium round about 2007 as ‘A Dennis the Menace Christmas’.
Some may regard it as a classic, others as, not so old yet, and yet others – as contemporary and relevant.
