618 N 1st Street

Positioned in the heart of Jackson Ward–one of Richmond’s most historic and culturally vibrant neighborhoods–618 N 1st St is a fully renovated two-story mixed-use duplex which offers a rare opportunity to own a proven, turn-key hospitality asset. The ground floor features an approximately 1,200 SF restaurant space outfitted with a full commercial kitchen, including hood system, walk-in refrigeration, bar, and existing equipment, allowing for a seamless transition for a new operator. Complementing the interior is a lovely 450 SF outdoor patio, with the flexibility to be enclosed for year-round use as well as 3 off street parking spaces. The property boasts a strong operational pedigree, having previously housed two highly regarded, upscale dining concepts, underscoring its viability as a premier restaurant location. The second floor consists of a well-appointed 1,200 SF two-bedroom, one-bath apartment, offering versatile utility as an owner’s residence, executive office, or employee housing—an increasingly valuable amenity for restaurant operators. Both levels underwent comprehensive renovation approximately 10 years ago, blending historic character with modern functionality. Historically leased to a single tenant for operational efficiency, the property works well either as a single tenant or multi-tenant investment. This is a compelling opportunity for an owner-operator or investor seeking a distinctive, income-producing asset in one of Richmond’s most dynamic urban districts.
