Welcome to 1016 Nelson Street, a classic brick Cape in Richmond’s Fulton Hill neighborhood offering character, solid bones, and plenty of opportunity to make it your own.
This 3-bedroom home offers the flexibility for a possible fourth bedroom, along with hardwood floors throughout much of the home that are ready to be refinished and brought back to life. Two screened porches—one in front and another overlooking the backyard—provide great spots for morning coffee, relaxing at the end of the day, or enjoying Richmond’s warmer months.
Several of the important updates have already been addressed, including a newer roof, HVAC system installed in 2020, and a 2020 water heater. The home has also recently received a fresh coat of paint throughout. Outside, the fenced rear yard offers room for pets, gardening, entertaining, or simply enjoying some private outdoor space. Two storage sheds provide additional space for tools, bikes, lawn equipment, and more.
The home does need updating and improvements, making it a great opportunity for a buyer who wants to build equity and put their own style into a home rather than paying a premium for someone else’s renovation.
Located in Fulton Hill, you’ll be convenient to neighborhood restaurants and breweries, the nearby public swimming pool, and everything that makes Richmond’s East End such an interesting place to call home.
If you’ve been looking for a brick Richmond home with character, useful updates already completed, and the opportunity to make it truly yours, 1016 Nelson Street deserves a look. While the home is in decent condition with newer systems it is being sold as-is.
