Built in 1870 by Judge William T. Joynes for his daughter and later restored by prominent preservationist Mollie McCrea, this architecturally refined Italianate house, exudes the genteel air of Petersburg’s Poplar Lawn Historic District, a fashionable 19th-century neighborhood surrounding a two-block public park. Ornamented with arched windows, impressive cast iron fencing and handsome front and rear porches, the exquisitely preserved Mollie McCrea House, retains most of its original historic fabric: mantels, moldings, doors and luminous windows with wavy glass. This 3,372 sf brick house flows easily over two floors. Soaring 12' ceilings and full-length windows keep the first floor bright and open, yet grand. There you’ll find living room, dining room, powder room, and picturesque kitchen with fireplace that opens to a porch and a family room. Upstairs are three bedrooms with fireplaces, two full baths, and a sitting room. Near lively restaurants, breweries, and regional medical center, easy access to I-95. Only 30 mins from Richmond.
