Bird’s-eye view of Old Towne Petersburg

It also is the home to many original paintings by internationally known artist, Carol Meese.

*** Please note that there are several flights of stairs to walk up to the apartment. It is well worth the climb, but is not handicapped accessible.

*** Since this apartment is centrally located in the Old Towne restaurant district, there is the potential of noise from area happenings, particularly in the evenings.

*** NO PARTIES allowed.

One of the area's most loved restaurants, Wabi Sabi is located on the bottom floor. During their business hours, you can simply walk downstairs and enjoy a delicious sushi or burger dinner. Top it off with a beer, wine or cocktail from the martini bar. Or order to-go and have a private meal upstairs in the comfort of the apartment.

Fun fact:
You can catch glimpses of our building in several major movies and TV shows including Harriet, The Walking Dead, Lincoln, Dopesick and Mercy Street.

Petersburg is famous for it’s rich Civil War history and is home to many sites such as Pamplin Park, The National Battlefield and much more for history buffs to enjoy.

In recent years, Petersburg has risen to become a prime location site for Hollywood period films because of its Civil War past and well-preserved historic downtown area. It is not unusual to find yourself walking past a movie set. In fact, there is a production crew setting up right outside our door as we write this!

Some notable movies & TV filmed in Petersburg are: Harriet, The Walking Dead, Lincoln, Ithica, Mercy Street, Juanita, Turn: Washington Spies, Killing Kennedy, Dopesick & more!

Here's what Meg Ryan had to say about Old Towne Petersburg: “Petersburg was great to us ... and Sycamore Street is just a beautiful street.” “I just loved being there. I loved it” (Richmond Magazine interview)
