“The Cottage” was built in 1885. It is located on .27 acres in Smithfield, Virginia. It is the oldest house on historic Grace Street in Smithfield. I love the exterior with the trim. The interior needs a bit of work. I am assuming this is good location and that’s why the price is kind of high considering the work needed? Newer plumbing and electric. Still has original fireplaces and windows. Four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and 2,734 square feet. $260,000 New price: $250,000
