Sorry VCU fans, but we’re going to have put one final nail in the coffin for the Shaka Smart era. That’s right, the three-story, colonial palace in Richmond that Smart has called home since 2012 is officially on the market for $1.495 million.
According to public records, the home was purchased in 2012 for $999,000, so Shaka’s looking to make a little extra dough on top of that fat six-year, $23 million deal he signed with Texas. Can’t get mad that Shaka for keeping up the hustle.
Information from the realtor:
A Sanctuary for the twenty first century! Sited off Monument Avenue, this colonial revival home is one of the jewels of city architecture. The interior has a quiet elegance. It features a living room fireplace with exquisite mantel, a dining room opening onto one of two sensational Charleston porches, laundry room and powder room. Quality abounds in glass front and solid door cabinetry with subtle stone counters and glass tile back splashes, a center island with walnut counter top, all opening into a sitting room with fireplace where friends can gather. The second floor encompasses three bedrooms, a spectacular master and hall baths, huge walk in closet and laundry. The third floor has 3 additional bedrooms and bathroom. There is a basement recreation room and wine cellar. Conceived with such dignity and simplicity, it was designed by Isaac Skinner and located on a private double lot with brick wall entry.
Added bonus: if you have a family that’s super tall, Shaka had the openings of the rooms modified for his basketball players (per Richmond Bizsense).
Additional highlights of Shaka’s home:
- 6 beds/ 4.5 baths/ 4,895 sqft
- No pool (bummer)
- Major outdoor patio space if you’re party host type
- Third floor has three bedrooms if you have freeloader friends
- 11.5 miles from Whole Foods
- 5.1 miles from Club Rouge
