Welcome to a private oasis in the heart of Jackson Ward's vibrant Arts District. This classic 1900s brick rowhouse exemplifies historic character with sophisticated updates meticulously curated by a local interior designer. The noteworthy restoration was featured in the Washington Post in 2020 highlighting original hardwoods and millwork, newer floor to ceiling windows, as well as updated HVAC, electrical panel, water heater, stainless appliances and security system with cameras. The decor is elevated by period appropriate lighting, chic paint and wall coverings, five decorative fireplaces with hand applied detail on the Virginia Mist stone mantle and two fully renovated bathrooms. The kitchen is a showpiece with endless granite counters, an integrated hood, open shelving and a central island inviting guests to relax with a glass of wine. The jewel box of a powder room discretely holds the laundry room. The front porch creates inviting curb appeal while the back courtyard is an urban retreat with established ornamental landscaping, hardscaping, uplighting and plenty of space to add off-street parking. Enjoy strolling to Quirk Hotel, Commonhouse, MCV and Richmond's best restaurants and boutiques along the art walk.
