WATERFRONT LIVING NEXT TO A PARK. With sweeping views of the Appomattox River and the adjacent National Battlefield Park, this stately Dutch Colonial Revival home is offered for public sale for the first time in more than half a century. Built in 1905 by the owner of neighboring Appomattox… Read More Manor, 510 Cedar Lane is a 3,704 SF, 5-bedroom oasis in charming City Point, a tiny enclave which made an enormous imprint on American history in 1865 as the headquarters for General Ulysses Grant at the end of the Civil War. The house is situated on a half-acre lot where the James and Appomattox rivers meet, and wildlife abounds. The rear garden slopes toward the water, to which the owner has access through an easement. Breezes sweep across a side veranda and a balcony off the kitchen. From the columned front porch, you enter a grand center hall, which extends to a light-filled river room at the rear of the house. On one side of the hall are double parlors with corner fireplaces and French doors opening onto the veranda. On the other side of the entrance hall are dining room, full bath and eat-in kitchen with balcony. Upstairs are five bedrooms--three with river views-- and two full baths. Miraculously, the house retains most of its original historic fabric including pine floors, 6 fireplaces, mouldings, doors, windows and hardware. A full basement with interior and exterior access is full of potential. It has a number of rooms including workshop, former laundry and bygone housing for domestic help. There is an impressive walk-up attic, ideal for storage. Set off from the house is a 1.5-car brick garage and attached lean-to for additional storage. As for your neighborhood, the scenic Riverwalk is a short stroll across the park. Close by is a marina for your boat and, for entertainment head to the Beacon Theatre, a popular music venue located in a downtown landmark. City Point is about 20 mins. from downtown Richmond. Shhhh...keep this hidden treasure off the radar. Read Less
