The transformation of a former Carytown antiques store is complete.

Robert and Anne Hines recently wrapped up renovations on the Thomas-Hines building at 3027 W. Cary St.

The 6,600-square-foot building now has renovated ground-floor commercial space and apartments on the second level, and residents are beginning to move in.

The Hines had operated Thomas-Hines Antiques in the building since they purchased it in 1972; the shop closed in April 2014. Retiring from the antique business gave Robert Hines the opportunity to tackle the apartment renovation project he had been thinking about for years.

“I just love Carytown, and I think people will really love living down there,” Hines said.

The four apartments in the building are each two-bedroom, two-bath units, ranging between about 1,000 and 1,640 square feet.

Jim Blackwell of Charles A. Rose Co. is handling leasing for the apartments, which began this week. Two of the four units have already been spoken for.

On the commercial side of the project, Hometown Realty has set up shop in one of the building’s two storefronts with 2,550 square feet. Aaron Mott will open Mott Gallery, an art gallery and coffee shop, in the additional 2,300-square-foot space within the next two weeks, Hines said.

Commercial Construction did the renovation work for the Hines. The same company worked with the couple in 1986 to expand the building.

The pair’s interior design company, Thomas-Hines Interior, refurbished the building; they still operate that business despite retiring from retail.

“This is one of the largest buildings in Carytown,” Anne Hines said. “So its renovation and refurbishing, I think, is a really nice touch to the area.”
