Offered for the first time since 2006, welcome to the Penthouse at the historic Presidential Court Condos.

Situated in a private wing on the third floor, this residence provides a peaceful and secluded environment. Unique to this property are a dedicated parking space and a storage closet located directly outside the condo in the hallway. The building's fully walled exterior encloses serene landscaped areas, creating a tranquil urban oasis in the heart of Richmond's vibrant downtown. Located just steps from the Jefferson Hotel, the Quirk Hotel, Stella's Market, Perly's, and more. This exceptional residence is ideal for grandparents with family nearby, parents of students, students, professionals, first-time homebuyers, or investors seeking a prime location. Easy access to Interstates 95 and 64. Historical Reference: From 1803 to 1805, officer Major William Price built a house on a quarter-block lot of farmland at what was then the western edge of Richmond. The fifth U.S. president, James Monroe, lived in the house in 1829 while presiding over Virginia’s Constitutional Convention. Subsequent owners, including Civil War veteran, lawyer and philanthropist James Dooley (who also owned Maymont), added a wing, altered the style and refined the decor.
