RICHMOND, Va. — A 200-year-old reconstructed home near the University of Richmond is being sold by members of a notable Richmond family.
“Windward,” a reconstruction of a Federal period dwelling that was relocated from Dinwiddie County nearly a century ago to 1 S. Ridge Road, hit the market on Wednesday for $2.9 million.
The nearly 10,000-square-foot home, at the southernmost end of Westham Parkway, is owned by Donna Sharp Suro, according to Henrico County property records.

Suro is a daughter of the late Richard Sharp, the former Circuit City CEO and CarMax founder. Her husband is Craig Suro, a local investor and former Virginia assistant secretary of health and human resources. His investment support has gone to ventures such as e-cig maker Avail Vapor, music and dance school Passion Academy and Tangier Island Oyster Co.
The home was listed by Wes Atiyeh with Joyner Fine Properties. He said the owners have done two extensive renovations to the home since they bought it in 2005.
County records show the home was purchased that year for $1.1 million. Its latest assessment by the county valued the home and 1.5-acre property at $1.74 million.
