From the Zillow listing:

 

Welcome to 817 Mulberry Road, a Georgian-style architectural gem overlooking lovely Mulberry Road, one of Martinsville’s most beautiful, residential thoroughfares! Local legend has it the architect of this grand home was inspired by Westover, a historic plantation on the James River! Look carefully at the exterior and you can see the similarities, particularly the roof line, dentil moulding, and the millwork adorning the front stoop! The property is comprised of two lots totaling over 3/4 of an acre, and the 5 bedroom home sits on the corner lot of Mulberry and Parkview Avenue. Having long been occupied by its former owner, the home has had recent renovations to aid you in getting a jump start on making this “blank slate” whatever you wish! The floors have been completely refinished and are stunning! A great deal of the interior has been repainted, three baths remodeled, and extensive plumbing updates added throughout, including a zoned water distribution system located in the basement! Tons of storage, including several cedar closets and a massive walk-up and floored attic! Keeping with homes of this period, the rooms are enormous and the windows bathe them all in light. Crown, picture, chair, and baseboard mouldings are located throughout, as are original skeleton keys in many locks! The original, crystal chandelier also awaits you! Respectfully offered in as-is condition, we invite you to take the reins at 817 Mulberry and give it YOUR personal touch for its next chapter!
