With five bedrooms, 5½ bathrooms and amenities including an elevator, a swimming pool and tennis court, the colonial-style home sits on 2.6 acres just beyond city limits in Henrico County.
The estate was assessed by the county in February for $1.16 million. It is currently in a trust overseen by Thalhimer’s children, Harry R. Thalhimer and Ellen T. Holland.
Harry Thalhimer said his parents, Charles and Rhoda, purchased the property in 1950 and significantly added on to the original house, which county records show was built in 1937. Over the years, he said, the home played host to numerous business-related and community gatherings.
