About This Home
As of July 2025Beautiful freestanding Greek Revival home built in the late 1800s in Richmond’s most historic neighborhood, Jackson Ward, a National Historic Landmark District with off street parking. Most of the original millwork, windows, & heart-of-pine floors have been carefully preserved, offering a rare glimpse into the past with a new kitchen and main bath. The kitchen has shaker cabinets and honed granite counters as well as a large, custom island for meal prep or dining and all new GE appliances, including a frig with water and ice maker. The home features three floors, ideal for multi-generational living, a front & back porch for entertaining, a garden and a large, fenced backyard. The main floor and the lower level have central heat and air, and the upstairs primary bedroom has new mini split with AC and heat. The English basement features a full bath, and three bedrooms, all with natural light and large closets. But what truly sets this home apart? The backyard. In a neighborhood where outdoor space is rare, this uniquely large, fenced-in yard is a true gem — perfect for pets, parties, or a peaceful garden retreat. This home would be an outstanding opportunity for a historic home lover or gardener who wants to make an impact on one of Richmond’s most historic Greek revivals or for an investor as Jackson Ward continues to shine. Located in Richmond’s burgeoning Arts District, the home is walking distance to VCU, the Quirk Hotel, the Jefferson, the Fan & one mile to the Capitol area. Also close to the Museum District, the James River, MCV & Belle Isle. Kroger and Lowes are right up the road, and Abner Clay Park is around the corner, now completely renovated including new design, fields, lighting, a playground, basketball, tennis, soccer courts/fields and more. Great for an owner occupant looking for a home near VCU (doesn't get much closer than this!) or VCU parent interested in investing in a property for your student. Rent the other rooms to friends and take advantage of the depreciation and interest tax write offs.
