The Lock Keepers House has all the history you can handle (National Register of Historic Places)! Originally surveyed by George Washington, as part of the Kanawha Canal project, which he also designed. Constructed in 1836 as Lock #7 in the canal, it was used as a tavern and toll collection point. The current owner has completely restored the home and added modern updates. The bottom level features 18” thick stone walls and brick floor. Entire home was recently painted to reflect the colors of the era. Four fireplaces. The bathroom was updated with tile and frameless glass shower (2022). Enjoy the full-length sunroom overlooking the James River and the old canal, which was converted to rail lines in the late 1800s. Four Mini-splits (with room for a 5th) were added for heating and cooling (2016). French drains were added in the rear, along with stone retaining wall, slate patio and bluestone steps (2022). Metal roof resealed and flashed (2022). Gutters added (2019). Rear sill plate and damaged siding were replaced, and back deck expanded (2021). Hot water heater (2021). Well pump (2020). Internet through Verizon. This house is the last of its kind. Own your piece of history today!

The Lock Keeper’s House c. 1836 Interior and exterior renovations completed in 2010 assure the character of this National and Virginia Historic Place is retained but essentials are in place for a weekend country get-away, or full time residence. Hand quarried 18” granite walls to the second floor, exposed throughout the first level kitchen and “ tavern room “ ( each with a gas log FP ) complement brick floors and original exposed wood beams. A delightful 8’ x 32’ custom enclosed porch on the 2nd floor provides commanding river views and breezes for use year around. The main bedroom with gas log FP, charming full bath and separate parlor, plus 2 additional BR’s on the 3rd floor, allow comfortable sleeping spaces. Custom light fixtures and appropriate furnishings confirm a true “ move-in “ status. Add the endless sun and shade gardening opportunities, bird life, glorious night sky, kayaking on the river and lots of peace and quiet just a 25 minute country road drive from Richmond…a unique opportunity.
