This is a beautiful house and property! Love the matching carriage house and the English garden. The house was built in 1890. It is located on .53 acre in Petersburg, Virginia. This town has a reputation, but I know a lot of strides have been happening with revitalization. There are good people trying to make a difference. The house features multiple covered porches, tall ceilings, wood floors, arched french doors, grand staircase, wide baseboards, crystal chandelier, crown moulding, stained glass transom windows, vintage light fixtures and stunning dining room woodwork! Five bedrooms, five bathrooms and 5,660 square feet. $725,000
