Escape to the charm and ease of Southern living in this well-cared-for antebellum gem in Petersburg's Poplar Lawn Historic District. Just across from a picturesque park and minutes from a lively restaurant scene and historic attractions, this 3,376 SF, four-bedroom house with its extensive garden and prominent setback from the street is a serene retreat from urban clatter. Started in 1852 and added to twice, the house is filled with natural light, original architectural details, high ceilings, and a floor plan that offers both privacy and openness. Rare in a house of this vintage is the POTENTIAL FOR A FIRST FLOOR BEDROOM AND FULL BATH. Step inside from the wide front porch and you enter a spacious center hall stretching the rear of the house. On the first floor are a living room with a large, fanciful bay, a dining room, den, powder room, eat-in kitchen, and the perfect home office. Upstairs are four bedrooms, including a primary bedroom suite, and two full baths. A large rear deck overlooks a delightful, fully fenced garden and a shed. There are at least two off-street parking spaces and heaps of history.
