1716 Summit Avenue 1

Set within one of Scott’s Addition’s most distinctive historic buildings, this striking 2 bedroom, 2 bath flat at Hook & Ladder Lofts offers 1,217 square feet of character filled, one level living. Originally home to Baker Equipment, a renowned builder of commercial vehicles and early fire engines, the building has been thoughtfully restored to preserve its industrial character while delivering the modern finishes and systems today’s buyers expect. Inside Loft 1, soaring ceilings, abundant exterior windows, and rich hardwood floors create a bright and inviting living space filled with natural light. The open concept layout is both functional and comfortable, featuring two well proportioned bedrooms, a sleek updated kitchen, and well designed baths. Extensive upgrades include new electrical service, energy efficient lighting, and all new interior finishes. The exterior has been fully revitalized with a new roof, reglazed windows, freshly pointed brickwork, and enhanced lighting. A preserved original hook from the building’s industrial past remains as a subtle nod to its legacy. This is a rare opportunity to own a true loft with authentic history and modern comfort in one of Richmond’s most sought after neighborhoods. Schedule your private showing today.
