Description

Step back in time—without giving up modern comfort—at this one-of-a-kind Petersburg home nestled beside the historic Petersburg Four Corners. At its heart lies a lovingly preserved piece of the 1800s: a relocated log cabin that forms the original structure, rich with character and timeless charm. The main level of this historic section offers an inviting eat-in kitchen, a formal dining room perfect for gatherings, a full bath, and a spacious entrance room complete with attached laundry—blending practicality with rustic warmth. Upstairs, you’ll find two comfortable bedrooms, a half bath, and a versatile bonus room ideal for a home office, studio, or exercise space. A partial basement supports this portion of the home. Bridging past and present is the original summer house, now a cozy den featuring a masonry gas fireplace—an ideal retreat on cool evenings. This charming connector leads to a thoughtfully designed 1999 addition, where a dramatic, oversized living room creates a stunning space for entertaining or relaxing. A striking spiral staircase rises to a private, expansive bedroom above, while a full basement lies beneath this newer wing. Throughout the home, distinctive details tell a story—wood plank flooring underfoot, soaring wood ceilings overhead, and oversized windows that begin at floor level, filling each room with natural light. Thoughtful updates provide peace of mind, including a newer furnace, hot water tank, and updated electric panel. Outside, enjoy quiet mornings on the enclosed side porch that welcomes you into the home, or unwind on the rear brick patio. A detached two-plus-car garage and convenient alley access provide ease and functionality. This is more than a home—it’s a living piece of history, artfully expanded for modern living, in a location that reflects the charm and heritage of Petersburg itself.
