What a project. But also… what bones!!!

Welcome to the Weeks Mansion! This home has over 4000 sq ft. Wait until you see the beautiful architectural details! The Weeks home was built around 1870. It has a beautiful view looking down 8th St. You can see the house for about half a mile as you come up the hill. This two and on half story, cross gabled residence with a tower combines the plan of an Italian villa with Eastlake woodwork details. The level of craftmanship and detail is outstanding. For a time, this house was occupied by Charles E. Weeks, appointed Postmaster of the Jamestown by President Grover Cleveland. Week's son was mayor of Jamestown and lived in the 34 Lakeview Ave. At the turn of the century, this home was occupied by Newton Crissey, President of the Farmers and Mechanics bank at 215 Main St. This property includes a frame garage. It does have a shared driveway and comes with the lot behind. CASH ONLY SALE ONLY. Roof is newer.

A sweet Southern beauty on a full acre.
Ridgeway, VA
60 Soapstone Road
$149,900
This classic 1912 home has a pretty fireplace mantel and over an acre of land.

Step back in time and fall in love with this 1912 farmhouse nestled on a level, cleared 1.15 acres in Ridgeway. Full of character and history, this home blends timeless 1900s charm with many of the big-ticket updates already completed for you. My favorite features of this home are the tall ceilings, welcoming front porch perfect for rocking chairs and sweet tea, the upstairs front porch that feels like something out of a storybook, a spacious back deck overlooking the open yard (needs some repair but offers incredible potential). Most of the major work has already been done. With a few additional projects, this farmhouse can be beautifully restored to its former glory. Due to peeling paint and some deck boards needing to be repaired, the home will qualify for cash or conventional financing only. If you've been searching for acreage, character, and the opportunity to finish bringing an old farmhouse back to glory, this is it!
