Turn off Sadler Road and the first thing you notice is the streetscape. Front porches instead of front-facing garages. Covered outdoor living spaces, rich exterior materials, elevations that change from one homesite to the next. Sadler Square does not look like the new construction you have been driving past in Short Pump, and that is by design. This is Miller & Smith’s first Richmond community, 130 single-family homes on 33 acres in Glen Allen, built around brand new floorplans that exist nowhere else.
Three model homes are open daily, and each one tells you something different about how these homes live. Here is what you will see on your tour.
Short Pump gives you the practical case for living here before you ever step inside a model. Short Pump Town Center, the Innsbrook corridor, and I-64 access are all minutes away, and the community feeds to Henrico County Public Schools. If you are starting your Richmond search from scratch, our Richmond new construction buyer’s guide covers the full market picture.
Every floorplan at Sadler Square was created exclusively for this community, with the features Richmond buyers asked for: first-floor primary suite options, open main levels, and exteriors that fit the character of the West End rather than fighting it. Four plans make up the collection, the Crosby, Arden, Everly, and the Maison, with homes starting in the low $600s.
how these homes live. At up to 2,805 square feet, it is the plan that proves square footage is not the whole story.
A private study sits just off the entry, far enough from the main living space that a workday actually feels separate. From there the main level opens into one continuous space: a great room anchored by a gas fireplace, then a chef-inspired kitchen with a full-height designer backsplash, granite counters, and a gas cooktop under a chimney hood. Natural light carries across the whole space.
Upstairs, four bedrooms give a growing family room to spread out without anyone feeling far from the center of the home. See the Crosby for yourself.
The Arden is the largest plan in the community at up to 3,791 square feet, and the model perfectly conveys what the space has to offer. The main level pairs a study with a kitchen built around an oversized island, the kind of island that ends up hosting homework, holiday prep, and half of every party you throw.
The second floor is where the Arden separates itself. A loft creates a second living zone for kids or guests, and one secondary bedroom comes with its own full bath, a setup that works just as well for visiting grandparents as it does for a teenager who has earned some independence. Options take the flexibility further: a first-floor bedroom, a spa-like bath in the primary suite, a bonus room with its own bath. Families weighing how a home will hold multiple generations under one roof will recognize the thinking here; it is the same approach behind the multigenerational floorplans Miller & Smith has been refining for years.
The Arden’s refined, relaxed design rewards a slow walkthrough. Tour the Arden and take your time.
The Everly is the showpiece of this collection, and not only because its virtual tour took home the GALA award for Best Virtual Tour of a detached home. The model, with interiors by Builders Design, is a study in refined rustic style: rustic oak flooring, aged brass metals, and natural stone accents layered over warm neutrals, with black, olive green, and clay woven through as accents.
It starts at the expansive front porch, the kind built for actual sitting. Inside, an elegant foyer leads to a den suited to a home office or reading room, while a family foyer with a drop zone keeps the everyday clutter of backpacks and keys out of sight. The first-floor primary suite is the Everly’s quiet headline, the feature that makes this plan work now and keep working decades from now.
At up to 3,503 square feet, the Everly represents timeless elegance and everyday practicality, and this model makes the case better than any photo can. Walk the Everly in person, or start with the award-winning virtual tour.
Not every plan needs a model to make its case. The Maison is the most attainable home in the community, the floorplan that opens the door to a brand-new Miller & Smith home in Short Pump starting in the low $600s. It comes in just a step below the Crosby in size, which means you give up very little to gain the lowest price of entry at Sadler Square.
What the Maison keeps is the part that matters: the open, light-filled main level, the exclusive-to-Sadler-Square architecture, and the same construction standard behind every home here. It is proof that thoughtful design is not reserved for the largest or most expensive plan in the community. For a first move-up buyer, or anyone who would rather put their budget into the address and the details than into square footage they will not use, the Maison is the easiest home here to say yes to.
The Maison is not currently modeled, but the sales team can walk you through the plan and available homesites in person. Ask about it when you visit.
At Miller & Smith, great design starts with the details you never see. Behind the oak floors and brass fixtures are quality building materials chosen for structural integrity, energy efficiency, and your family’s comfort, the same standard that has carried this company through 60+ years, nearly 20,000 homes, and more than 500 design and construction awards. The GuildQuality partnership keeps homeowner satisfaction measured and public, so you are not taking our word for it.
That is what an afternoon at Sadler Square really means. The finishes catch your eye. The construction earns your confidence.
The models are open daily from 11 am to 6 pm at 11460 Sligo Drive in Glen Allen. Come with your questions about timelines, options, and homesites; come with your skepticism, too. Walk the Crosby, the Arden, and the Everly back to back and notice which one you keep drifting toward.
