HENRICO COUNTY, Va. — A hillside estate in western Henrico County is being sold by a descendant of a notable family of lawyers. The 12-room, 6,000-square-foot house at 8905 Brennan Road was listed Oct. 30 for $1.95 million.

County records list the owners as David A. and A. W. Harrison IV, who purchased the property in 1998 for $825,000 and put it in a trust in mid-2014.
David Harrison is a grandson of David A. Harrison Jr., co-founder of the Marks & Harrison law firm, and a son of the late David A. Harrison III, an attorney, philanthropist and benefactor of the University of Virginia.
Each room on the south side of the house has floor-to-ceiling windows.
The fourth-generation Harrisons are remaining in town but downsizing after raising their children at the home, said listing agent Lacy Williams of Joyner Fine Properties. Williams said the house is unique for its views of the valley, its privacy and a swimming pool with a waterfall feature. Built by David Branch, who developed the adjacent Mooreland Landing subdivision, the house was designed to take advantage of those views, with each room featuring windows facing the valley, she said.
“It’s got a nice view of trees and a lot of privacy,” she said. “I’ve had a number of showings. I don’t have an offer yet.”
The home has two patios facing the heated pool.
Built in 1983, the contemporary, two-story house includes five bedrooms and 4½ bathrooms. The first floor features a dining room with a ceiling that rises two stories.
