Home Tour: 5216 Caledonia has it all!

Be sure to check out 5216 Caledonia on the 2019 Westover Hills Home Tour, May 5 from 1 to 5 p.m. This craftsman home built in 2014 is the perfect marriage of Westover Hills charm and modern conveniences, including large closets, an upstairs laundry, 10-foot ceilings, and an open and spacious downstairs that is perfect for entertaining. The charm is accentuated by beautiful interior design and furnishings, orchestrated by the homeowner herself, an interior decorator and owner of Leah Walder Interiors. With an exceptional creative and artistic eye, she has transformed discarded pieces of yesterday (featuring items found at Habitat ReStore, Goodwill, and on Craigslist), and incorporated them into a beautiful, warm, and aesthetic look and feel in every room. The owner’s love for reinvention extends to the exterior, landscaped beautifully with an assortment of plants and shrubs acquired from friends and neighbors. This may be the first time on tour for these homeowners, but it is not their first home in the neighborhood.

You can buy tickets to the 2019 Westover Hills Home Tour in advance at Westover Station (formerly Cafe Zata) or online right here. On the day of the tour, tickets will be available at 5005 New Kent Road starting at 12:30 p.m.

Home Tour: 5015 Riverside is a House with a View

The mid-century ranch at 5015 Riverside Drive, one of 8 homes on the 2019 Westover Hills Home Tour (May 5 from 1 to 5 pm), sits high on a bluff overlooking the James River. Every room of the house, custom designed in 1954 by a local architect, offers a view of the river! The latest renovations in 2010 created an open flow for living and entertaining by removing a wall separating the kitchen and leveling the sunken living room. The kitchen was totally updated, and the sunroom was converted to a generous deck. With its abundant natural light and soft gray walls, the home is ideal for displaying its many pieces of eclectic art. Don’t miss the piece “Les Hurleurs Aux Vents” in the guest room, by renowned Canadian artist, Dominic Besner, known for his colorful and textured paintings of masked figures. Paintings and lithographs by local artists, including Carol Neece, Carson Price, and Shepard Fairey, hang throughout the house, offering a fun and contemporary energy alongside a stunning selection of lighting fixture and furniture.

You can buy tickets to the home tour in advance at Westover Station (formerly Cafe Zata) or online right here. On the day of the tour, tickets will be available at 5005 New Kent Road starting at 12:30 p.m.
