Tarover
;void(null))
Tarover is a magnificent historic stone villa of some 5500 square feet perfectly situated on a beautiful tract of pasture land near South Boston, Virginia with mature trees, a pond, and fencing all around. It was built in the Gothic Revival style in 1856 and renovated in the 1980s by Virginia Zenke, a respected interior designer from Charleston.
The home is built in irregularly coursed quarried stone. Its elevation is dominated by a two-story porch tower with a gable roof. The first story is an open porch with three large Tudor-style openings, and the second story has a diamond-paned oriel window. It shelters the main entrance of the house, a diamond-paned, transom-light double doorway with complementing sidelights.
Triple-hung windows with wooden architraves flank the tower and are capped with rough-hewn stone lintels. The home has large wings opening out from its central-hall floor plan. An open-well main stairway with a beautiful balustrade is a central feature.
Tarover needs a complete restoration. A primary suite, a new kitchen, HVAC systems, a new roof, masonry tuckpointing, window and trim repair, refinishing of the floors, etc. would be required to restore it to its original grandeur, possibly in the $750,000 range or more to do it right.
The setting is pastoral with gently rolling pasture land, tall trees, and a pond. Behind the home is a stone barn that needs structural repairs made. Toward the back of the property is the foundation of the original home from the 1700s.
Price is $895,000, owner can finance with 30-year terms, address is 4112 River Road, South Boston VA 24592. Agents are welcomed and this is an equal housing opportunity, call 540 487 0480 for a tour today!
