Located a 1/2 block from the breathtaking gardens of The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (VMFA),
2 blocks to the heart of Carytown, home of Richmond’s largest collection of independent shops, restaurants and home to the Historic Byrd Theater.

Byrd Park is several blocks down Arthur Ashe Boulevard, a nice walk. Within Byrd Park, check out the the multiple lakes, Dogwood Dell and the tennis courts where young Arthur Ashe sharpened his tennis skills. Maymont Park is close by.

Richmond has vast amounts of history to explore. A short drive to Hollywood Cemetery will delight with views of the James River and the resting place to four US Presidents.

Take a stroll down Arthur Ashe Boulevard to tree lined Monument Avenue, home to blocks & blocks of extraordinary estates and gardens. The Science Museum of Virginia and the Children's Museum are close by on Broad Street.

If you don't want to walk, participate in the Richmond Bike Share program with easy pick up and drop off.

Restaurants - Bountiful in dining options, this Museum District Townhouse is within a few blocks of Carytown & the Devil's Triangle. Scott’s Addition & the Fan are the adjoining neighborhoods a little further, great for walking & exploring.

All living spaces on are the second floor, up one flight.

Upstairs, the light-filled kitchen is the central point of focus. The stainless gas stove works well for at-home cooking. The kitchen also has a microwave oven, toaster oven, dishwasher, coffee maker & coffee grinder. The kitchen is furnished generously with cookware and dining ware. The refrigerator is stocked with necessities. The breakfast bar seats 4 with additional seating in the adjoining entry.

The back deck offers outdoor space to grill, dine, or simply sit and enjoy the peaceful setting and views of the VMFA art Studio & Gardens. The front balcony is accessible from the living room, perfect for taking in the neighborhood.

The bathroom offers a jetted tub, stackable washer / dryer, shampoo, conditioner, body soap, & epsom salts, along with a generous supply of fresh towels & washcloths.

The bedrooms offer Queen Size Brass beds, 55 inch flat screen televisions with RokuTV, Netflix,& additional channels.

Both beds are made by the world renowned furniture makers, Brass Beds of Virginia. These beautiful beds provide a secure interlocking frame in addition to the beautiful designs to allow for deep and uninterrupted sleep. Both bedrooms, known as the Nature Room and Broadway Room, feature art and photography from local artists.

The living room faces South providing plenty of natural light from the original glass doors opening to the Balcony.

The "Trunk Room" has been converted into a small den with a round table for eating, game playing or working. High speed internet through Verizon FIOS with the passcode at check in and extra HDMI cables for every TV, make staying connected easy.

Excellent spot in Museum District/Carytown

The place is stellar — everything you’d need, very comfortable, and the hosts are extremely responsive and thoughtful. It’s easy to find parking nearby (or even right out front) and it’s a short walk to Museums and the main drag of Carytown,

No hassle and all fun

The property was great. We had a very late check in but it was so easy to get in and relax once there. There was an abundance of snacks, tea, coffee and other beverages. We felt welcome and at home. The location was excellent. We were able to walk most places or arrange for an affordable Uber. I highly recommend!

Pied a Terre in Richmond

We were so grateful to find this gem in Richmond. We were there during a very stormy weekend and were so grateful to the hosts for the eggs, milk and bread and other treats, because we couldn’t face going out during the storm averted a long day of house hunting! Very comfortable beds and nice hot shower. Sitting room very comfy.

Our rental was ideally situated for our visit to the Flower Show and photography exhibit held at the Fine Arts Museum, the incredible Lego exhibit at Virginia Museum of History and Culture and was easy walking distance to the many shops and restaurants in Cary Town. Comfortable beds, and a well-stocked kitchen made our stay special.

The property is clean, comfortable, and close to fun places—VMFA, Carytown, great Fan restaurants including the beautiful delicious food at Memi’s. The host provides every thing you could possibly want: snacks, coffee, tea, juice, bread, condiments, treats, and even eggs during this time of extreme egg scarcity. Best of all is host’s immediate response to any question or request. Best bnb experience!
