Description

Grand 1880s Victorian Triplex in Historic Jackson Ward - 4,400+ Sq Ft | Ideal for Owner-Occupant, Multigenerational Living, or Investment

This classic 1880s Victorian, set on an oversized lot in the heart of Jackson Ward, offers over 4,400 square feet of well-designed living space across three distinct and fully self-contained units. With three off-street parking spaces, a private garden, and a strong history of maintenance and capital investment, this property presents a rare opportunity in one of Richmond's most architecturally significant neighborhoods.

The primary residence--over 2,500 square feet--lives as a full-scale home, featuring a traditional double parlor, three bedrooms, two and a half baths, a den, solarium, and a generously sized kitchen. Charleston-style porches extend across the rear of the home and overlook the landscaped private garden, offering true indoor-outdoor living in the city.

Two additional apartments provide flexibility for multigenerational living, guests, or rental income. The two-bedroom, one-bath unit spans two floors with a unique layout shaped by the building's position on the lot. The one-bedroom unit includes a den/sunroom that works well as a home office or additional living space.

The building has been comprehensively updated and remains in excellent condition, including a new standing seam metal roof installed in 2024. All units are separately metered except for water.

Located within walking distance to Richmond's Arts District and VCU, and convenient to Downtown, MCV, The Fan, Carver, and Ginter Park. This is an ideal property for an owner occupant or an investor. This is a rare opportunity to own a legacy property that supports a high-quality lifestyle with income potential, right in the center of the city.

Downtown and Church Hill Multi-Family

Looking to invest in Richmond’s historic Church Hill? This walkable neighborhood blends timeless architecture with strong rental demand. Whether it’s a classic duplex or a converted rowhouse, Church Hill multi-family homes offer charm, income potential, and long-term value. Live in one unit and rent the rest — all just steps from parks, top-rated restaurants, and downtown. A rare chance to build equity in one of the city’s most iconic and sought-after neighborhoods.

Looking for a smart investment in one of Richmond’s oldest, most vibrant, and most architecturally rich neighborhoods?
Church Hill offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of history while building long-term financial stability. As one of the city’s most sought-after and walkable districts, it’s no surprise that multi-family properties here are in consistent demand — by both renters and buyers alike.

From classic brick duplexes with wide porches and original fireplaces to converted townhomes with three or more units, Church Hill's housing stock is full of architectural detail and historical character. Many properties have already been updated with modern systems, making them move-in ready for tenants or house-hackers looking to offset their mortgage by living in one unit and renting the others.

Beyond the bricks and ROI, Church Hill offers something increasingly rare in urban real estate: community. Residents enjoy tree-lined sidewalks, skyline views, and quick access to neighborhood staples like Sub Rosa Bakery, Alewife, The Roosevelt, and Union Market. Parks like Libby Hill and Chimborazo offer gathering spaces with stunning vistas, while the Virginia Capital Trail and nearby bike lanes make commuting or weekend rides easy.

Proximity to downtown, VCU/MCV, Shockoe Bottom, and major roadways only adds to the long-term value. Whether you’re an investor looking for consistent rental income, a first-time buyer interested in house-hacking, or someone seeking to own property with historic soul and financial potential, Church Hill’s multi-family homes deliver.

This isn’t just an investment in property — it’s an investment in one of Richmond’s most enduring and dynamic neighborhoods.
