Welcome to the John Baird Jr House in Historic Old Towne Petersburg! This historically significant property dates to 1783 and has a storied past as a church, merchant marketplace and private residence. The property was purchased in the mid 1990's by the Historic Petersburg Foundation, Inc. and underwent a historically accurate, major renovation of the structural items including roof, dormers, exterior siding, porches, and stone foundation walls. The mechanical systems were brought to current code with a 3 zone HVAC system, new wiring, plumbing & security systems. The lower level is ADA compliant with street entrance and handicap accessibility for use as their headquarters until 2015. The current owner has converted the upper floor to residential use with two bedrooms, full bath, kitchen and living spaces. Current zoning allows for mixed use residential/commercial offering an exciting live/work opportunity that is well located just a short walk to the Old Towne commercial district, the Appomattox River, Historic High Street, and Virginial State University! Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to invest in the rapidly growing Historic Petersburg movement!
