Property Description

Historic home with privacy, convenience, and lots of charm! Walkable to Downtown Scottsville on 5+ acres, just 5 minutes from the James River. There is 2000+ unfinished sq ft for more living space. Perfect opportunity for a short term rental or bed and breakfast. Just minutes from the James River, this 1914 Greek Revival-style home sits on over five acres, offering endless potential.
