This Danville, Virginia house has nice potential! This is diagonally behind my two houses, Sunshine Cottage and Moonlight Manor. It’s on a great street! You can walk to the museum, Crema and Vine Cafe and even Midtown Market. This is known as the Lizzie Lowndes House. It was built in 1907. It is located in the Old West End Historic District in Danville, Virginia. It’s interesting that the apartment on the back of the house was added by Ms. Lowndes as a schoolroom. The house features a covered front porch, original wood floors, arched entryway, original mantels, baseboards, wainscoting and a big backyard. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms and 1,115 square feet. $170,000

From the Zillow listing:
This unique Victorian Cottage in the desirable Old West End offers an opportunity to own a piece of Danville history. Built for Lizzie Lowndes in 1907, the home features large, spacious rooms and high ceilings. A grand foyer offers a beautiful fireplace and a warm welcome to the home’s living spaces including a sitting area to one side and a bedroom or potentially an office on the other. Both bedrooms offer closets with plenty of storage space. The home also features a large laundry/storage area, a dining room, and fully equipped kitchen. This house is a great find and provides, via its basement apartment, the opportunity for rental income or multi-generational living. The apartment is original to the home and was added by Miss Lowndes as a school room. The apartment features one bedroom, one full bath, large living/dining room and full kitchen. This house needs some TLC, but is generally in terrific condition with minor repairs and some painting needed. All appliances convey. Be advised that this home is in a historically protected area, and major changes to the exterior require approval from an architectural oversight board before execution.
