Richmond’s real estate market is known for it’s historic charm and traditional design. Now there’s a new trend on the horizon—modern design. One of the most recent examples of modern architecture locally is The Meridian located at the corner of N. Thompson Street and Cutshaw Avenue. Consisting of eight single-family, row homes, The Meridian is located on the border of Scott’s Addition and at the beginning of the Museum District. Carter Snipes, principal of the builder, Snipes Group, LLC, explains “Technically the project is in Scott’s addition, but is located across Broad Street. That’s how we decided on the name Meridian. It sits on the line of both neighborhoods.”
Originally the property was a non-historic commercial office building that was built in the 1970s. Snipes saw the potential to transform what some may have seen as an out-of-place structure into a modern architectural living space in a thriving area of the city. Today, the design is best described as row homes with a modern twist. The exterior has elevated concrete steps that lead to a front porch with a covered doorway. The interior boasts large windows, walk-in closets, substantial living room and mixed-use space with full kitchen and dining areas. The modern design is accentuated by the hardwood floors, recessed lighting, and iron throughout the structure.

Each town home features three bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths, with a private rooftop deck just off the master bedroom suite.

With the heart of Scott’s Addition just two blocks away, one mile to Cary Town, two miles to VCU, and downtown just minutes away, residents can experience the best of what Richmond has to offer in local cuisine, art, and shopping. Snipes agrees, “This is where the action is. Richmond is quickly becoming a craft beer, dining, and entertainment hub for the whole region.”
Along with being in the center of budding restaurants and retail, The Meridian is also close to popular Richmond attractions like the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Dogwood Dell, and Maymont and Byrd Park. Another plus for this location is easy access to I-95 and I-64 to get around the city or surrounding counties. If driving isn’t your thing, public transit is within walking distance in this area. This community is the perfect option for buyers who want the convenience of city living without relocating to a larger city.
