Step back in time with this circa-1900 home offering nearly 2,000 square feet of living space, historic character, and plenty of potential for the right buyer. The first floor features a welcoming foyer, half bath, kitchen, living room, and a large four-season conservatory. Previously used as a salon, the conservatory is equipped with water and sewer connections, providing possibilities for a home business, studio, office, or additional living space. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a full bath, with one bedroom currently configured as a second kitchen and offering the flexibility to convert back to bedroom space. Hardwood floors and multiple fireplaces add to the home’s original charm. Situated on a quarter-acre lot with public water and sewer, this property is ready for someone with vision to restore and update it to its full potential. Conveniently located near Old Towne Petersburg, shopping, dining, and major roadways.
Old Towne Historic District, located between the Appomattox River waterfront and Interstate 95, is a historic and walkable Petersburg neighborhood with brick rowhouses and warehouse lofts. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Sycamore Street near Market Street, where galleries, coffee counters, and small restaurants line the sidewalks under vintage signage. The Brickhouse Run anchors the dining scene in a restored industrial space, while Trapezium Brewing Company brings a taproom buzz to old brick walls. The Petersburg Area Art League adds rotating exhibitions and classes in a classic downtown building. Cobblestone blocks, ironwork details, and pocket parks shape a streetscape built for strolling. River views and the nearby trail network tie daily routines to the water’s edge.
