Located in Richmond’s historic Monroe Ward neighborhood, 17 E Main St presents a unique opportunity to acquire a well-maintained, renovated historic office property with exceptional flexibility for both owner-occupants and investors. Originally constructed in 1915, the two-story, 2,280 SF building, blends historic character with a highly functional professional office layout featuring 5 generously sized private offices, a central open workspace/reception area on each floor, and two full bathrooms—one on each level. Currently operated as shared workspace for private therapy practices, the property lends itself particularly well to continued professional office use and offers an owner-user the ability to occupy all or a portion of the building while generating supplemental income from the remaining offices. Positioned within Monroe Ward and convenient to Downtown Richmond’s major employment, institutional, and cultural destinations, 17 E Main Street offers easy access to VCU, the Jefferson Hotel, the YMCA, the Virginia State Capitol complex, and the surrounding Downtown business community. The property is also conveniently accessible to both I-95 and I-195, providing excellent connectivity to the greater Richmond region. A large, fenced rear yard provides additional flexibility, with potential for future building expansion or possible conversion to off-street parking. With its combination of private offices, shared reception and workspace areas, historic character, central location, and flexible occupancy potential, the property is an excellent fit for a law practice, private therapy or counseling group, nonprofit headquarters, design or architecture firm, or other professional user seeking a distinctive Monroe Ward presence. For investors, the existing shared-office configuration provides an attractive framework for continued multi-tenant leasing and income generation.
