Property Description

Welcome to 520 N 1st St, a historic 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom home offering classic character and an unbeatable location in the heart of Jackson Ward. Boasting bright living areas, timeless architectural details, and a rare private backyard, this home delivers the perfect blend of comfort and city living. Inside, the inviting living room features a classic brick gas fireplace as its focal point, beautifully complemented by newly refinished hardwood floors (2026) and fresh interior paint (2026) that spans the entire home. Elegant French doors open to the dedicated dining room, creating an ideal setting for everyday meals or entertaining. The kitchen offers ample cabinet storage along with a cozy breakfast nook, perfect for morning coffee. Upstairs, you will find two generously sized bedrooms, both large enough to easily accommodate king-size beds and additional seating or office space. The bedrooms share a bright full hall bathroom featuring a shower/tub combination and floating shelves for added storage. Outside, a second set of French doors opens to the expansive, fully fenced backyard—a true rarity for city living. Mature trees provide shade and privacy. The exterior charm is further enhanced by a freshly painted house front and front porch (2026), offering fantastic curb appeal. Step outside and experience one of Richmond's most vibrant, historic neighborhoods. You are just minutes from downtown events, galleries, VCU (6 mins), and acclaimed local favorites like Mama J's Kitchen and Lillie Pearl. Don't let this opportunity pass you by, schedule your showing today!
