Description

Known historically as “Brookside” and later referred to as “The Roosevelt House,” this remarkable historic residence in Abingdon offers an extraordinary blend of preserved character, architectural craftsmanship and modern convenience. Named for the peaceful brook flowing beside the home, historic records indicate Eleanor Roosevelt briefly lived here as a child while the home operated as a boarding house. The current residence was constructed in 1874 after the previous home on the site was destroyed in an 1856 fire. Inside, the home showcases timeless craftsmanship, featuring original woodwork and door hardware, large built-in bookcases and ceilings measuring 10 feet on the main level and 9 feet upstairs. The main level offers a spacious and inviting layout with a parlor, formal dining room, large living room, kitchen, and a primary bedroom suite with a large en suite bath, walk-in closet, laundry area and half bath. A dramatic foyer staircase leads to the second level, where three additional oversized bedrooms each feature private en suite full baths. The upper level also includes a sitting area, bonus room and a large storage room. In total, the home features seven fireplaces, including three on the main level, three upstairs, and one in the basement. Two of the main-level fireplaces are equipped with gas logs. While rich in historic charm, the property also benefits from numerous modern updates, including two central heating and cooling systems, updated plumbing and electrical systems, and updated kitchen and bath fixtures. Outside, the property continues to impress with a large covered rear porch overlooking the landscaped lawn, a stone water feature, privacy fencing, full-size original wood shutters, metal roof, full unfinished basement, detached two-car garage with motorized lift for upper-level storage access, and a separate storage building ideal for lawn equipment or additional storage needs.

    "I have lived here in this town all my life. It's a busy town with a lot of historical places and events. The public transit is a great way to get where you need to go as long as it's in the town limits. For the most part the neighbors are friendly and businesses continue to grow. We have a excellent public library and many great schools which are safe. If you are not a resident at least come for a visit. I feel lucky to be able to say how much I love this area and am able to pass it on to the public of what a great town this truly is."

    "*very* historic. southern hospitality, aged like fine bourbon. the architecture and history alone should draw one here. like someone took pages from a story book and coagulated them into an IV drip. Virginia's left-leaning policies mixed with a(n) historic neighborhood way of life. All the amenities one would expect from an old/new town. up and coming/old-world mixture of staple, country way if life vane wave capitalism. Close enl8gjt to the border(s) of several main hubs that it's location is ideal as f[expletive]."
