Chris Small of Park 27 listed the renovated 1927 Tudor at $1,179,000; it closed at $1,220,000 after design consultation and vacant staging by Jsquared.
Chris Small of Park 27 listed the renovated 1927 property on Richmond's Gaslight Block at $1,179,000; it closed at $1,220,000 after a pre-listing design consultation and full vacant staging by Jsquared Interior Staging and Design.
A 1927 brick Tudor at 3330 W Franklin Street, on Richmond's Museum District Gaslight Block, sold for $1,220,000 on July 2, 2026, or $41,000 above its $1,179,000 list price. The four-bedroom, four-bathroom home, designed by architect Carl M. Lindner and recently updated with roughly $200,000 in renovations including a remodeled kitchen and a newly finished basement, was listed by Chris Small of Park 27 and staged by Jsquared Interior Staging and Design, a Richmond-based luxury home staging company.
The property was vacant at the time of listing. Jsquared stages exclusively vacant properties, a deliberate specialization the company says produces stronger sale results than staging occupied homes around existing furniture and belongings. Ahead of the listing, Jsquared conducted a pre-listing design consultation with the seller's team, reviewing paint, lighting, and finish decisions before the home was photographed and marketed, then followed with a full staging of the vacant property.
At 3330 W Franklin Street, that meant presenting a nearly 100-year-old home, with its leaded glass windows, beamed ceilings, and slate roof, alongside a recently renovated kitchen and basement in a way intended to read as cohesive rather than as two different eras stitched together. The home last sold for $1,000,000 in June 2025 before its renovation, meaning the sale closed roughly $220,000 above that price after improvements and staging.
"Vacant homes are the only projects we take on, because they give us full control over how a buyer experiences the space, without furniture or décor that belongs to someone else's life," said Johnathan H. Miller, Founder and CEO of Jsquared Interior Staging and Design. "On a home like this one, where a historic exterior meets a freshly renovated interior, the design consultation before staging is what lets us make sure every room supports the story the house is telling, instead of working against it."
Small said the presentation was a factor in how quickly the home found a buyer at a price above asking. "This is a special property on one of the best blocks in the Museum District, and it needed to show that way from the first day it hit the market," Small said. "Jsquared's consultation and staging gave buyers a clear sense of how the finished renovation lives day to day, which matters as much as the work itself."
The sale adds to a growing list of Richmond-area properties where Jsquared's vacant-staging model has been tied to sales at or above asking price, spanning historic city rowhouses, Tudor-style homes, and suburban properties alike. The company has been recognized by industry groups including the International Association of Home Staging Professionals and the Home Staging and Redesign Alliance for its luxury and vacant-home staging work.
