130 Watling St

This lovely 1895 Victorian is a gem among the grand homes as you enter the town of Urbanna and seated just at the curve of historic Watling Street. Wonderful original architectural features include Scamozzi pillars, curved banister, cypress doors and transomed interior doors. Seven fireplaces, each with its own decorative surrounds and mantles lend a story to the room they adorn. Downstairs living room, dining room and a stately office. The kitchen and keeping room were later add-ons. Three large bedrooms and full bath upstairs. Outside a columned wraparound porch overlooks Watling Street and the sumptuous backyard. Absolutely delightful plantings throughout the property; red dogwood, spirea viburnum, iris and daisy beds, Japanese maple, river birch, azaleas and more. And a surprise, 23' of water frontage along Urbanna Creek with a pier that is easily restored to its existing footprint without permit. Urbanna Creek is just off the Rappahannock River on its way to the Chesapeake Bay. It has been 50 years since this enchanting property home has been offered for sale. It is a special property, in the Town of Urbanna. Bring your passion for the water, history and antique homes.
