Built in 1789 by William Pettyjohn post Revolutionary War, this Beautiful Brick Colonial boasts 14 inch thick walls, high ceilings, and a full front porch. You'll love the beautiful wide plank flooring & amazing trim detail. Electrical has been updated from old knob and tube wiring and there is an updated oil heating system. With a main level bedroom, large living area, over-sized dining room and massive 40' X 12 L-Shape deck, with views of woods and neighboring pond. The large Eat-in kitchen has entry to the front & deck. Upstairs are 2 large bedrooms in the original home, since the 3rd bedroom is a pass-through, it is labeled a family room & the 3rd bedroom is at the back. Metal roof is in great condition. The large 2-story addition has clapboard siding covered with aluminum. A brick repaint & wood refurbishing would bring back the Historical Glory of this home! Just 5 minutes from downtown Lynchburg on River Rd. and priced to sell! Call today!
