Property Description
Back on the Market! Buyer Financing Fell Through. Welcome to 220 High Street-a rare opportunity to own a captivating piece of history in the heart of Old Town Petersburg's Historic District. This remarkable 1840 colonial home seamlessly blends timeless elegance and modern convenience, offering over 5,000 square feet of living space on a 5,400-square-foot lot with a private driveway. Step inside to discover soaring 12-foot ceilings, original hardwood floors, and six elegant fireplaces that reflect the home's 19th-century character and craftsmanship. Exquisite period details abound, including marble fireplace mantels, a stunning 10-foot sliding pocket door, and antique light fixtures. Book lovers will appreciate the massive library, adorned with floor-to-ceiling shelves-a true sanctuary for reading and reflection. The spacious lower-level kitchen and dining area feature natural brick walls and exposed beam ceilings, with some new stainless steel kitchen appliances waiting for your installation and ready for your personal touch and vision. Modern upgrades include two brand-new HVAC systems, AC compressors for all levels, and a new roof (installed approximately three years ago). The first floor boasts an inviting living room, an expansive parlor perfect for entertaining, and the impressive library with direct access to a cozy porch. Step outside to a charming courtyard nestled between the main house and the carriage house. Upstairs, three oversized bedrooms with generous closets and a full bath offer ample space, complemented by a new washer for added convenience. While some cosmetic updates are needed-especially in the kitchen and bathrooms-the home's solid foundation and enduring appeal present endless possibilities. This is an Estate Sale. The property is offered strictly "AS IS." The seller makes no warranties, will not make repairs, and no home inspection contingencies will be accepted.
