Welcome to a stately 1894 Victorian in South Boston, Virginia, set on a generous 0.41-acre corner lot and wrapped in a classic, covered front porch that instantly sets the tone. At 4,626 square feet, this is a substantial home with character—original wood floors, handsome mantels, and period trim—balanced by cozy, livable spaces like a knotty-pine den with built-in bookcases and a charming built-in china cabinet.
Currently configured as three separate units, the property offers flexibility for income, multigenerational living, or an easy path back to a single-family residence if you prefer a grand, traditional layout. Tall ceilings, chair rails, and substantial baseboards highlight the craftsmanship of the era, while large rooms provide the scale you need for modern life, entertaining, or a creative live-work setup.
