This property is eligible for the Wells Fargo Homebuyer Access Grant, offering up to $15,000 in funding or closing assistance for qualified buyers.*
Tired of paying rent or settling for a condo with HOA fees and shared walls? This fully rebuilt 1-bedroom, 1-bath home in Manchester gives first-time buyers a rare shot at real homeownership — with none of the deferred maintenance headaches that usually come with an entry-level price point.
This isn't a light refresh — it's essentially a ground-up rebuild. New Hardie plank siding wraps the exterior, a new roof protects it from above, and inside you'll find brand-new engineered hardwood floors running throughout. Every major system has been replaced: a new heat pump for efficient year-round comfort, a new water heater for on-demand hot water, and an all-new appliance package in the kitchen. The result is a home that looks and lives like new construction, with the character and walkability of an established city neighborhood.
The interior has been stylistically updated with a clean, chic aesthetic that feels move-in ready and low-maintenance — ideal for a buyer who wants modern finishes without the fixer-upper project.
Location is a major win here. Manchester puts you close to everything: quick access to the James River and its trails, minutes from Manchester's breweries, restaurants, and coffee shops, and an easy commute into Downtown Richmond. It's city living with river access at your doorstep.
Whether you're done renting and ready to build equity, or looking for a smarter alternative to a condo purchase, 1708 Decatur Street offers a turnkey home with all the big-ticket items already done.
*Grant eligibility, availability, and terms are subject to Wells Fargo program requirements and buyer qualification.
