GREAT NEW PRICE!!!! Melrose was built circa 1790 probably by descendants of Antoine Trabue who was a French Huguenot. He immigrated to America from Holland and settled in Powhatan County in the early 1700’s. The other famous Trabue building (Trabue Tavern) is next door. Melrose is a true example of a Huguenot style home which is the two room plan over an English Basement with two matching front doors. Most of the trim and fireplaces as well as the boxed winding stairs are still in place. Around 2002-2003, the home underwent a major renovation including a marvelous two story addition including a new back stair case making Melrose fully functional for today’s busy lifestyle! The first floor features a living room, dining room, master suite, and large eat-in kitchen. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a full bath. The English Basement (probably at one time used as the kitchen) is currently used for storage. The grounds (approximately 1.42 acres) are enchanting with large ancient trees, beautiful flowering trees and fenced rear yard with a deck.
