Welcome to 279 High Street in the heart of Old Towne! Enjoy the Virginia-native plants in the front yard as you walk up the entry path to relax on the freshly painted front porch of this 19th century home. This 1,840 sq ft home features so much historic charm, including heart pine floors and stunning pocket doors in the living room with original hardware. The third room on the second floor is perfect for an office or conversion to a walk-in closet. The eat-in kitchen has plenty of space for a dining set, so you can even use the formal dining room as another bedroom or lounge area. Upgrades include a gas line brought in for supplemental heat in 2021, new rear windows in 2022, updated cabinets/countertops, & built-in kitchen desk. The 0.213 acre lot extends all the way back to Low Street! The first floor features central air, and the second floor has efficient mini-splits installed in 2020. The separate front & back basements each had JES dehumidifier systems installed in 2018 with transferrable 25 year warranties. The rear basement was fully encapsulated by JES in 2018. All kitchen appliances, washer and dryer, and 1890 armoire in the dining room convey. Located within walking distance of restaurants, coffee shops, bakeries, shops, the farmer's market, the library, VSU, the Lower Appomattox River Trail, and more! This historic Petersburg home is ready to be your next landing place!
