Property Description
Historic Charm in the Heart of Jackson Ward. Welcome to 518 N. 1st St., a beautifully maintained row house tucked along a quiet alley in historic Jackson Ward - Richmond's celebrated 'Harlem of the South.' This freshly painted two-bedroom, two-bathroom home blends historic character with modern livability. Hardwood floors flow throughout, filling the home with warmth and timeless appeal. Two comfortable bedrooms and a full bath sit upstairs, while a second full bath serves the main level. A standout downstairs bonus room currently serves as extra living space, but could convert easily into a third bedroom, home office, or guest suite. This home features a fully fenced back yard, perfect for hosting family and friends. Location can't be beat: you're one block from Mama J's Kitchen, a beloved Richmond soul food institution, and just a quick bike ride from both VCU's Medical campus and Monroe Park campus - ideal for students, faculty, or medical professionals. You're also surrounded by the history, culture, and revitalization that make Jackson Ward one of Richmond's most sought-after neighborhoods, with easy access to downtown. Move-in ready and full of potential, 518 N. 1st St. is a must-see for anyone looking to plant roots in one of the city's most historic, dynamic neighborhoods.
