Welcome to Colonial Place!

Stunning 1917 architectural gem showcasing timeless craftsmanship and architectural character situated on a sprawling 95 X 113-foot lot!

Step into the timeless charm of this beautifully maintained Colonial-style home, built in 1917 and rich with the craftsmanship and architectural details of the early 20th century. From the welcoming front porch and gracious foyer to the original hardwood floors, crown molding, and signature “monkey tail” staircase ornamentation, this home beautifully preserves the character of its era.

The main level welcomes you with a gracious foyer, formal living room with decorative fireplace and French doors opening to the sun porch, and an elegant dining room with its own decorative fireplace. The updated kitchen features new Quartz countertops and an island, while the sunroom offers new tile floor and abundant windows and a wonderful place to relax. A convenient first-floor full bath, recently updated with custom built tile, a new toilet, sink, tile floor and hardware, completes the level.

Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom features a decorative fireplace and a library wall unit featuring a rolling library ladder, joined by two additional generously sized bedrooms and a full hall bath. There is a large closet with built-in wardrobe/hutch accessible from the two larger bedrooms. The third floor provides exceptional flexibility with a fourth bedroom, bonus room, or home office, complete with a new mini split installed in 2025. The basement offers a washer and dryer (new in 2025), along with ample storage.

Throughout the home, exceptional millwork and original architectural details celebrate the craftsmanship of 1917. Three fireplaces add historic character, including beautifully crafted painted wood mantels distinguished by classical fluted columns, paneled friezes, delicate dentil-inspired ornamentation and beautiful interior brick work. These details, together with the ornate crown molding, wavy window glass, period lighting fixtures and original staircase, create a sense of history and artistry rarely found in newer construction.

Outside, the property continues to impress with a welcoming front porch, screened rear porch, and a large 10,676-square-foot lot with a fenced backyard, including some newly installed wrought iron fencing. A detached two-car garage with a new roof (as-is). Additional exterior and mechanical updates include brick pointing, cedar shakes approximately five years old, slate roof maintenance, newer membrane roof, and a furnace and air-conditioning system installed in 2005. The water heater was installed in 2013.

Conveniently located just minutes from ODU, shopping, restaurants, SNGH, EVMS, CHKD, and area Naval Bases. Zoned for Granby Elementary, Blair Middle, and Maury High School. No flood insurance is required.

As an added convenience, the sellers plan to leave several furnishings at no additional cost/value including the dining table with two leaves, kitchen island and stools, primary bedroom bookshelf and wardrobe, bonus room desk and bookshelves, porch furniture, and window bench seat.

A rare opportunity to own a home where original 1917 craftsmanship, historic character, and modern livability come together.
