Property Description

AUCTION! Bid online - price is value range only. Early offers presented. Built in 1830 and known through the years as the Chamberlayne/McIlwaine Home, 416 West Washington Street is one of the more storied residences in Petersburg's historic Folly Castle district. A glorious gingko tree adorns the back yard and was purportedly gifted by President Thomas Jefferson himself! The distinguished list of past owners includes the founder of Richmond's St. Christopher School. Etchings that adorn 2 original glass windowpanes feature the inscribed date 1869 and include Churchill Chamberlayne's name. The central location allows for an easy walk to restaurants and the great new library.

The house is a beautifully maintained 2-story, 4,532-square-foot brick and frame residence with an attached, renovated and furnished apartment — space that was originally built to house the servants who staffed the household. Today it functions as an independent one-bedroom living space with its own kitchen, bath, living area, and private balcony, giving a buyer built-in flexibility: extra space for family, a home office, or an income-producing rental unit.

Seeking Preservation-minded homeowners, small investors, and anyone drawn to Petersburg's continuing revitalization.
