Updated Pictures to be uploaded Monday August 3, 2026 Welcome to the historic George Kemper House, a remarkable 1916 residence in Richmond’s distinguished Reeveston Place Historic District, where more than a century of history meets extraordinary craftsmanship. Built for George and Mrs. Kemper and thoughtfully planned for gracious living and entertaining, this stately brick American Foursquare with Craftsman influence is a rare opportunity to own a home whose story is nearly as impressive as its architecture. From the moment you enter, the grandeur of another era is unmistakable. Pristine period woodwork, rich quarter-sawn oak details, beautiful built-ins, generous proportions, and an impressive flow from room to room showcase craftsmanship that simply cannot be replicated today. Designed with entertaining in mind, the home offers gracious gathering spaces and a fascinating service kitchen with its own dining area—a remarkable glimpse into the way substantial homes of this period were designed to accommodate the preparation and service required for large-scale entertaining. The architectural details continue throughout, with character around every corner and spaces that feel both substantial and welcoming. Even when newly constructed, this home was noteworthy: in March 1917, the Richmond Palladium featured the Kemper residence among Richmond’s well-built homes, highlighting its thoughtful design and impressive amenities. Set within historic Reeveston Place, this is far more than a beautiful older home. It is a piece of Richmond history—built with permanence, designed with purpose, and preserved with the kind of exquisite detail that makes you stop and take it all in. For the buyer who appreciates architecture, history, craftsmanship, and a home with a story to tell, the George Kemper House is truly something special. Now, more than 100 years after its story began, the opportunity awaits for its next steward to write the next chapter.
