Amazing opportunity to own a piece of history! The John Baird House, located in Old Towne, Petersburg, dates to 1783 and has a rich history as a personal residence, a church and a merchant marketplace. Beautiful restoration work + modern updates make the space inviting and ideal for residential or commercial use. The "porchless" facade atop a stone basement is a well-known landmark. Currently used as a proven 5-star Airbnb, the property could also be used as a speak-easy or events venue. The stone-walled basement with exposed beams offers so much potential! It's heated/cooled and has a large bath (room to add a shower), washer/dryer hookup + a utility sink. Wheelchair ramp makes basement accessible to all. Basement could also be additional living space (maybe add a spiral staircase to the 1st floor?) or a separate rental unit. Even more potential living space with over 1500 sq ft unfinished on the 3rd floor, with exposed beams. With 3 lots total, there's room to create an outdoor entertaining space... food trucks or bands perhaps? Plus plenty of room for parking. If additions/expansions aren't appealing, simply enjoy the beautiful home in its current state. It's in pristine condition and move-in ready! Furniture package available. A deep country porch welcomes you into the home. The main floor has a spacious entry/sitting room that oozes 19-century charm. There's a perfect blend of beautiful restoration work to maintain the historic feel and modern updates for comfortable living. The gabled roof was replaced in 2023, and siding was repaired and repainted in 2023. Lovely neighborhood with close proximity to outstanding restaurants and shops. Convenient to I95 and I85, and less than 30 minutes to downtown Richmond. A fantastic opportunity is here for you!
