Welcome to Talbot Park!

Situated on almost a half an acre in desirable Talbot Park, the timeless elegance of this beautifully restored 4 BR/3 Bath Federal style home features west-facing views of the Lafayette River perfect for enjoying cool breezes and breathtaking sunsets.

Entering through the grand doorway into the stunning foyer setting the tone for the historic charm that permeates every corner. The show stopping parlor and living rooms boast extraordinary plaster reliefs (seal of the United States is original to the house and the seal of the Commonwealth of Virginia was added around 1921-25), showcasing the craftsmanship of a bygone era, while six fireplaces (4 decorative, 2 gas in dining and parlor) each with an historic Federal mantel provide both warmth and visual appeal.

The modern gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring exposed wood ceilings, custom shaker cabinets, a SS appliance package complete with double ovens, side by side fridge/freezer, two dishwashers, and a 5-burner gas cooktop stove.

Convenience meets luxury in the 3 updated bathrooms, adorned with marble tile and heated floors, offering a serene retreat. Other features include refinished, original heart pine wide plank wood floors, complemented by extensive moldings, beveled window and door trims, and wainscoting throughout entire home that speaks to the home's rich heritage. The mechanical systems including electrical (2 150-amp panels) plumbing (copper supply and PVC drains), and two zone HVAC (2 zones AC & gas boiler) have been thoughtfully modernized in 2016 to ensure both comfort and efficiency.

The three upstairs bedrooms are exceedingly spacious, there is an additional loft/office area, and there is room for expansion with 3 unfinished walk-up attic rooms. The primary is truly an oasis, with two walk-in closets (one currently as a nursery), and a luxurious primary bathroom.

Outside, the property delights with its west-facing sunset views over the tranquil Lafayette River. Three porches, including a full-width covered porch, invite you to relax and savor the spacious grounds adorned with walking paths, large fenced-yard, mature trees and professional landscaping.
