About This Home
Own a piece of Virginia history Lackawanna built by Dorastus Cone! This historically registered 4BR/4BA home, located on over an acre in the Riverton Historic District, was thoughtfully restored in 2003, preserving its timeless character while offering modern comfort. Previously operated as a successful bed & breakfast, the existing permit to continue the B&B use will convey with the sale, presenting a unique investment or hospitality opportunity. The property also includes a detached studio with excellent potential for conversion into a guest house, art studio, office, or additional living space (subject to any required approvals). Rich in historic charm and architectural detail, this one-of-a-kind property offers endless possibilities. Sellers are hopeful that much of the existing furniture will convey, making for a seamless transition into this extraordinary home.
