Art and amenities to make your home away from home a special place!
Steps away are Grace Street dog park, Meadow Park (a great place to read or picnic with friends), Monument Avenue (the median is popular for strolling, jogging, and gathering with friends), so many restaurants (where to start?), an easy walk to get your groceries at Whole Foods...
Within a mile-ish are the VMFA, VMHC, the Science Museum (and its new urban park!), live music at The Camel, Broadberry, VCU, Altria Theater, The National, Kroger, plenty of breweries, endless entertainment... yet on a quiet block- a friendly, small town feel in the heart of the Fan, minutes to downtown, with quick access to bus lines (including The Pulse to MCV), interstates, and Amtrak. Walk to Fox Elementary or Binford Middle, Orchard House is on the corner!
We might be biased but we think it’s the best block in Richmond!
The back, where you park and access the apartment, is not the most beautiful (yet). BUT there is access via a private locked alley to the huge front porch- where you can sit and enjoy people-watching, or quietly read a book. Available for weeks/months at a time, this apartment is a great way to call Richmond's charming Fan district your "home" while you're in town!
Guest access
See floorplan- the apartment is self-contained within the Italianate- 2 bedrooms with an open living area, kitchen and bathroom accessed by either the gate to alley on Grace Street or the back parking spot.
