PRICE REDUCED! Take a step back into history...Just know that it is a BIG step...all the way back to 1785 in fact. The stunning Gill Hay House is not just a piece of Petersburg's history, but Virginia and US history! This Federal style home is unique in character, space, and condition. With over 3,400 square feet this home features 4 generous bedrooms and 3 full baths and is situated on over a half acre lot. Of the many well known features of this home is the grand staircase that greets visitors upon entering the home. A foursquare-style design with standing seam copper roof, it features a balanced layout which originally had four generous rooms on the 1st floor and four above. Through careful and meticulous updates with an eye for preservation owners have added 1st floor bathroom, an modern eat-in kitchen with new granite, white cabinets, and upgraded stainless steel appliances, and an office. The elegant dining room and formal Parlor/Living Room flank the Entry Hall. Upstairs are four bedrooms and 2 full baths, including a remodeled Primary bath and updated hall bath. You will spend most of your time enjoying nature from the two-story rear porch/covered porch overlooking the deep back yard that offers complete privacy behind the home. The home has recently been painted completely inside and out, original oak flooring has been refinished and preserved, as have the many details of its 1785 craftsmanship, including the wood burning and coal fireplaces. New HVAC was installed in 2022. Located on a quiet, low traffic street in Petersburg's historic district that's just a half-hour drive from downtown Richmond, and is just blocks from your favorite restaurants, coffee shops, taphouses, and shopping. Sad owners are relocating, offering you this extraordiary once in a lifetime opportunity to own a true piece of American history.
