Majestically mounted high above the riverbank where the James and Appomattox join at historic City Point, this Tudor Revival built in 1929 could easily be mistaken for a 500-year-old-medieval manor house. A showplace of architectural distinction designed by noted architect Carl Lindner, the 5 bedroom, 3.5 bath house is constructed of irregularly shaped bricks in nuanced colors and fanciful patterns giving it an air of antiquity. Situated on nearly three acres, the house overlooks a rolling lawn, part of which, served as a wagon road to Petersburg during the Civil War. The rear of the property has 77 feet of waterfront with arresting views. The interior of this 4,075 SF house is as magical as the exterior with elaborate mouldings, arched doors and long, narrow windows. The outbuildings--a folly, boathouse and 2-story, 5 car-garage--are whimsical complements to the main house, echoing its Tudor vibe. The first floor has a living room, dining room, kitchen, pantry, river room, and family room. On the second floor are four bedrooms, including a primary suite, and a charming housekeeper's quarters with a fifth bedroom and third full bath. This sprawling landmark is only 20 minutes from downtown Richmond and 45 minutes from Williamsburg. Nearby are the Beacon Theatre, a marina, and the National Battlefield Park at City Point.
