Other interior features common throughout Richmond are the authentic wood floors, ceiling fans, semi-enclosed kitchens, basement or loft flex-spaces, and large pantries.

Across Richmond's older homes, and the range of minimal-traditional cottages, homes are very affordable, with a few fixer-uppers at an absolute steal.
