About this home
HISTORIC CHARM, MODERN LUXURY, PRIME LOCATION! Welcome to this beautifully restored 3-bedroom, 4.5-bath home in the heart of Petersburg’s Centre Hill Historic District. Built in 1899 as the parsonage for Third Baptist Church, this property combines century-old craftsmanship with modern updates for today’s lifestyle. You’ll love the original oak staircase, heart-pine and parquet floors, working pocket door, and six decorative fireplaces with ornate marble and wood mantels. Bathed in natural light, the home offers original stained-glass features and soaring 8-foot windows in the front parlor. Enjoy morning coffee on the wrap-around front porch or unwind on one of the two rear verandas overlooking the fenced backyard and peaceful patio with water fountain. The chef’s kitchen is a showstopper—featuring granite countertops, custom cabinetry, travertine floors, a marble backsplash with mosaic tile insets, stainless-steel appliances, and a six-burner gas cooktop. Perfect for entertaining or running a Bed & Breakfast, the second floor offers three bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms. The finished attic provides bonus living space ideal for an owner’s retreat, studio, or office. Extensive upgrades include modern HVAC, all new plumbing and electrical systems (dual 200-amp panels), new sewer and water lines, and fresh exterior paint. Located just steps from restaurants, cafés, museums, and antique shops, and only a few blocks from I-95, this home is less than a 25-minute drive to Downtown Richmond, Fort Gregg-Adams, and the new Virginia LIVE! Casino. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own a fully restored piece of Petersburg history—offering timeless elegance, walkable charm, and unbeatable value. Historic preservation and R-3 zoning guidelines apply.
