This house has a lot of potential! I love that it has two staircases and some acreage! Looks livable, so one could easily move in and work room by room. The house was built in 1830. It is located on 7.55 acres in Chase City, Virginia. The house could use some undoing of past renovations, but the areas that are original are nice. The house features some original wood floors, chair rails, wide baseboards, two staircases, built-in china cabinet, spacious kitchen and wainscoting. There are a couple of outbuildings on the property and a large back deck. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms and 2,833 square feet. $218,000

From the Zillow listing:
Looking for a quieter lifestyle with room to enjoy the outdoors? This 1830s farmhouse offers space, character, and the opportunity to build equity through hands-on improvements. The home features solid construction, multiple fireplaces, spacious rooms, and a unique layout with three upstairs bedrooms – each with its own staircase. The structure is sound, the floor plan is flexible, and the surrounding acreage provides plenty of space for gardening, pets, or future projects. Whether you want to restore its historic charm, create a modern farmhouse feel, or use it as a vacation rental, the potential is impressive. With thoughtful updates, you can enhance both comfort and long-term value. Properties with this kind of character and acreage seldom become available. Located in peaceful countryside yet close to recreation areas, small-town conveniences, and Buggs Island/Kerr Lake, this home offers a perfect balance of privacy and practicality. Two outbuildings add even more value: one with water, electricity, a sink, counters, and concrete foundation – ideal for a workshop or guest space – and another with electricity for additional storage or workspace.
