The space

A historic Broad Street furniture and music warehouse that recently underwent a multi-million dollar conversion while maintaining original architecture according to Federal and State historic guidelines. We essentially maintained all the unique and classic features of this beautiful old building and renovated it completely to today's standards. We kept quaint features like the 100 year old heart pine hardwood floors and pressed tin ceilings and added modern amenities such as HVAC, skylights, atrium's and elevator. It would be a challenge to find a more unique location than this condo right on West Broad Street in the Arts District.

Unique coffee shops, clothing and music stores, fine restaurants are just steps away outside your door. Enjoy downtown RVA in this totally revised neighborhood located between two universities (VCU and MCV). Situated across the street from the Virginia Repertory Theater. Next door to the new Bar Solita, Quirk Hotel (with rooftop bar), City of Richmond Police Headquarters, Perly's and Tarrants. If you love great food, Richmond is serious about delivering meals and spaces that exceed your expectations.

Btw, the largest food festival in Virginia occurs each year right out front of this property. Join us as we close down 5 blocks of West Broad Street and throw the biggest food and music festival in Virginia! "Broad Appetit Food Festival". This benefit for the Central Virginia Foodbank occurs in downtown RVA the first Sunday in June yearly! Over 35-40k attendees have shown up for this one day event (We help coordinate all the entertainment with over 14 bands and 2 stages) and it happens right our Metro Sound front door each year.

Simply put, this is a great city-central location that offers everything to the discerning Richmond traveler or businessperson. Keep in mind that a new Pulse Rapid Transit system was just completed out front of the building. It takes you 8 miles quickly down West Broad. Also, parking is readily available with several options within a block or so.

Our tenants like knowing we are nearby in the event they need us. We also have all the recommendations you might need for a great place to eat or live music venue to visit. Our music business, Metro Sound, is one of the first businesses to venture back downtown over 32 years ago when all the other businesses had left for the suburbs. We are proud to call downtown RVA our home!

About the host

Hosted by Mark Szafranski

Host profile image
Short term rentals are not new to me. I have over two hundred Five Star reviews on another rental platform. Self employed for nearly 30 years, musician, businessman, a pioneer of downtown RVA. Started a music business here back in 1991 and have called this my home ever since. Downtown RVA has come a long way and I'm glad to have done my part to get it to where it is today. I was here when it was almost ghost town. My radio and television commercials always said to come visit us "in the new downtown". I knew it might take a while but someday that would be true and now it is! I hope

Why they chose this property

Why this property? It's total karma in a way. This place used to be a Stieff piano retailer in 1909. I'm a piano player and started a music store (having no idea that pianos where sold here years ago before I bought the place). All the steel in the buildings originally came from Carnegie, place my parents grew up and fell in love in (many of my uncles worked in the Carnegie steel mills and may have helped create this steel too). It's just a lot of unique coincidences that I found out about over time. So, why not this building and business, I think it was meant to be. I was just fearless and young enough (26) to say why not?

What makes this property unique

This city central location is just great. There are so many unique places to eat and shop right out your door. These are all stand alone businesses. There are no Starbucks, Gap or Guitar Center but we do have Lift, Ledbury and Metro Sound. That is what makes us different and totally worth the effort to come visit. Downtown has finally made it back and I'm still standing after nearly 30 years of being in business. You will not be on your own, my staff and I are here working in the music shop almost daily and can assist as much or as little as you like.
