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. Main floor square footage = 1,463 sq ft. Basement square footage = 1,115
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 (not including paint colors) require approval from an architectural oversight board before execution.
What the owner loves about this home
The Old West End is a vibrant, safe community with caring and friendly neighbors who watch out for each other without being invasive. Sutherlin Avene is perhaps the most picturesque of the Old West End's streets (apart from Main Street/Millionaire's Row) and being the shortest of the neighborhood's streets (just two blocks) it is not a major thoroughfare for traffic and is therefore quiet and safe with most of the houses being restored or in-progress thereof.
The home's high ceilings and spacious rooms makes it feel much grander on the inside than it appears from the outside, belying large living spaces, great storage, and comfortable living in a charming, even elegant atmosphere. This house would make for a great starter home but would also be ideal for single individuals, especially writers, teachers, artists, or academics or those who live alone and want/need a lot of personal space without feeling like they are alone in a castle. This home is in a much-coveted location and is a frequently inquired after piece of historic real estate. A true gem!
