1730 Sycamore S, Petersburg, VA 23805

A gardener's dream, an old-house lover's delight, and the ideal home office converge in a magical setting evocative of a French Impressionist painting. Add to the picture a garage apartment at the end of a cobbled drive, a gourmet kitchen, custom baths and a large, versatile basement and you have the incomparable showplace at 1730 South Sycamore St. This iconic 1926 brick Colonial Revival house sits at the high end of a rolling 2.5-acre double lot with an impressive setback ensuring its residents privacy. Modern systems complement original mouldings and burnished wood floors while a columned double porch overlooking extensive gardens & terraces evokes an earlier, less hurried time. The owner's suite with its bath, adjacent office, and huge dressing room is a standout feature in a property that offers other numerous, comfortable spaces both inside and out. Above the garage with its original folding doors, the 306-square-foot apartment provides a bedroom, bath, and kitchenette with full-length porch screened by lush greenery. Completely fenced and gated, this one-of-a-kind property is an architectural and landscape design tour de force.
