About this home
AUCTION! Bid online - price is value range only. Early offers presented. Built in 1830 and known through the years as the Chamberlayne/McIlwaine Home, 416 West Washington Street is one of the more storied residences in Petersburg's historic Folly Castle district. A glorious gingko tree adorns the back yard and was purportedly gifted by President Thomas Jefferson himself! The distinguished list of past owners includes the founder of Richmond’s St. Christopher School. Etchings that adorn 2 original glass windowpanes feature the inscribed date 1869 and include Churchill Chamberlayne’s name. The central location allows for an easy walk to restaurants and the great new library.

Today it functions as an independent one-bedroom living space with its own kitchen, bath, living area, and private balcony, giving a buyer built-in flexibility: extra space for family, a home office, or an income-producing rental unit.
