About this property

Northside Gem- Historic Retreat with Modern Luxury

Step into a unique blend of history and modern comfort in this stunning two-bedroom, two-bath apartment, just five minutes from Downtown Richmond. Set within a beautifully restored 1910s meeting hall in the historic Barton Heights neighborhood, the space offers a rare mix of character, charm, and high-end amenities designed for both short and extended stays.

Inside, you’ll find thoughtful luxury at every turn - a fully equipped chef’s kitchen, blazing-fast WiFi, original hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, and oversized windows that flood the apartment with natural light. Unwind by the fireplace, play a tune on the piano, or soak in the antique bathtub for a touch of old-world indulgence. A washer/dryer adds everyday convenience.

Just moments from local shops, restaurants, and the best of Northside, this exceptional apartment is a one-of-a-kind home base for experiencing Richmond.

The apartment is exactly as listed. It was extremely clean and had coffee along with a few snacks. I was told there was an instruction sheet on the dinning room table but the sheet was missing. No big deal, I was just unsure of what the check out procedure was. Place was great, neighborhood not so much.

We were in town for a family wedding. Easy access to downtown for the Friday evening event , as well as the wedding venue across town on Saturday. The apartment was absolutely beautiful. Well stocked. I admittedly used the beautiful tub both nights. Overall space was huge. Only negative was actual neighborhood. It was sketchy. Felt mostly fine during the day, but both nights got in around 10-1030 and felt uneasy until we were inside and locked up. Otherwise, its a fantastic unit.

We’re so glad the apartment worked well for your wedding weekend and that you enjoyed the space, amenities, and especially the soaking tub 😊 We also appreciate your feedback regarding the surrounding area. Richmond is a vibrant urban city with neighborhoods that can feel different depending on the time of day, and we’re happy to hear you ultimately felt comfortable once settled in. Guest safety and comfort are always very important to us. Thank you again for choosing to stay with us, and we’d love to host you again in the future!
