Mt. Airy was built in 1853 & finished on Oct.28 by William W. Oliver.The story goes,he was building it for his finance & by the time he had finished,she had made so many changes during the building process that the marriage never happened & Mr. Oliver built a new home down the road & lived there.Over many yrs Mt Airy has lost a bit of it's shine & sits wanting you,to buff it's beauty up to par!High ceilings,tall windows & wide floor boards-plus 4 fireplaces all lined w/super flow & original mantles await keeping you warm on cold winter days along w/the oil baseboard heating system.Spring-Fall,sit on the front or back porch & enjoy breezes off Pungoteague creek w/300ft of waterfrontage.On this 5.54 acres also sits a 2nd 2 story fixer-upper for friends/extra income.A gem for only $450,000!
