Feasibility of Remote Work for an Acquisitions Officer at a Family Office

Hi all, could use some advice. Last year during COVID I took an Acquisitions role for a small , but active, family office since my role at the time was going nowhere. It's a great opportunity, I am getting better experience than before, better comp, etc. I'm approaching my 1 year mark and already have 2 deals under my belt.

The problem is that our office is in the suburbs about 1-1.5 hours from the city I was living in. I thought it would be time for me to embrace the suburban life (the COVID lockdown at the time also helped make the decision), but to be completely honest I am hating it. I am 30 years old, single, and want to move back into the city. I think about this almost every day.

I've only been with this group a year, and this is my FOURTH firm out of college - so I definitely do not want to leave the group, despite there being a lot of openings in my city. However, the whole company is literally 4 people, including me and a part-time accountant. One of us is usually on the road so there is usually just 2 people in the office at any given time.

I really want to broach this subject to the principal and ask if he would mind if I come in one day a week, enabling me to move back to the city and work remotely from a home office. I am fairly certain that they view me as a good hire and I am adding a lot of value to the firm, so I am not afraid to make this request. I am just wondering if anyone has found themselves in a similar situation and has any advice on how to further support my request.
