Ryan Odom is looking to unload his Richmond residence en route to his new coaching gig in Charlottesville.

The UVA-bound former head coach for the VCU Rams men’s basketball team put his Windsor Farms home up for sale Wednesday with a $2 million asking price.

The listing comes two months after Odom was named head coach for the Cavaliers, capping a two-season run with the Rams that culminated with an 11th-seed appearance in this year’s NCAA tournament.

Odom purchased the house at 3902 Sulgrave Road with his wife Lucia a year ago. Property records show the couple paid $1.9 million for the 4,000-square-foot house and its roughly half-acre parcel, which the city has assessed at $1.49 million.

The three-level house totals 4,000 square feet and is on a roughly half-acre lot in Windsor Farms.

The home has four bedrooms and 3½ bathrooms and includes a finished basement, fenced pool and detached two-car garage.

Built in 1941, the Cape Cod-style brick house has been updated with refinished oak floors featuring random-width planks. An entry hall leads to the living room with gas fireplace and French doors, and a bay window is a highlight of the banquet-sized dining room.

The first-floor primary suite adjoins a paneled room that can be used as a den or library, and an adjacent study can be used as a home office or walk-in closet. A second primary bedroom is located upstairs, along with two more bedrooms, two full baths and a walk-in attic with cedar closet.

The house also includes a brick-floored sunroom with arched windows, vaulted beadboard ceiling and a bar cabinet. The finished lower level provides additional living space, and the house is equipped with a security system and generator.

John Martin with Shaheen, Ruth, Martin & Fonville Real Estate has the listing. He did not respond to a request for comment Wednesday afternoon.

The listing is the latest in a line of area homes that have traded hands along with VCU’s coaching changes.

Among them is the Park Avenue house that Shaka and Maya Smart called home during Shaka’s tenure, which included the Rams’ first Final Four appearance. The Smarts sold the house in 2016, a year after Shaka was named head coach for the University of Texas. Two years later, Smart’s replacement, Will Wade, sold his Maymont-area house after leaving VCU for Louisiana State University.

Odom was named head coach for the Rams in 2023, succeeding Mike Rhoades, who replaced Wade in 2017.

Phil Martelli Jr., formerly with Bryant University, was named the Rams’ 14th head coach in March.
