Description

This exceptional 1952 residence was designed by noted local architect Frederick “Bud” Hyland, a pioneering force behind the city’s early modernist movement. Hyland, who trained under legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright, drew inspiration from his mentor’s principles—emphasizing harmony between architecture and nature, clean horizontal lines, and thoughtfully integrated indoor-outdoor living. Set on a generous lot along Riverside Drive, the home reflects the hallmarks of mid-century modern design,...This exceptional 1952 residence was designed by noted local architect Frederick “Bud” Hyland, a pioneering force behind the city’s early modernist movement. Hyland, who trained under legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright, drew inspiration from his mentor’s principles—emphasizing harmony between architecture and nature, clean horizontal lines, and thoughtfully integrated indoor-outdoor living. Set on a generous lot along Riverside Drive, the home reflects the hallmarks of mid-century modern design, with an emphasis on simplicity, functionality, and connection to its surroundings. Multi-level decks span the front of the home, overlooking a beautifully landscaped lawn with views of Riverside Drive and the James River. Inside, the great room showcases exposed brick and warm wood-paneled walls, a built-in dry bar, gas fireplace, and working clerestory-style windows along the roofline that invite in natural light. The kitchen features stone tile countertops, Ballard cabinetry, a new electric stove, freshly painted cabinets, and high-end tile, with direct access to the front patio. The primary suite offers a private retreat with a glass slider to the rear deck, grasscloth wall coverings, exposed brick, remote-controlled blinds, and an en suite bath with tiled shower, vanity, and a convenient washer/dryer closet. Additional bedrooms feature distinctive design elements including brick walls, large fixed windows, and custom storage. The hall bath preserves its original tub alongside tile flooring, built-in shelving, and classic York wallpaper. Additional highlights include a whole-house generator, irrigation system, ample off-street parking, and a detached ADU—ideal for a studio or home office. With only a limited number of homes attributed to Hyland in the Richmond area, opportunities to own one of his designs are rare. For buyers with an appreciation for architecture, this property represents not just a home, but a meaningful piece of Richmond’s design history.
