Overview
From a unique perch on historic Church Hill, the Ligon House is an impressive antebellum Greek Revival with expansive river and skyline views. The western half of this substantial double house constitutes 3,584 SF on four levels with an outbuilding perfect for office or studio. On a block with superb examples of pre-Civil War architecture, the house has large windows, a columned entrance, and triple rear porches. Original heart pine floors, high ceilings and exposed brick lend historic charm while updated kitchens and baths signal 21st century luxe living. The walk-out basement has a chef's kitchen with high-end appliances, a dining room gas fireplace, and a full bath. On the main level is a grand entrance graced with a curved staircase and double parlors designed for entertaining. Stately, yet comfortable, the high-ceilinged living room has a fireplace and vintage lighting. A handsome arch separates it from the rear parlor with elaborate wet bar -fridge, freezer, dishwasher and farm sink-- accented by exposed brick. On level three are two bedrooms and a full bath. The top floor has the primary bedroom with an adjoining sitting room and a full bath as well as a laundry closet. All upper levels open onto sweeping, inner-connected porches facing the James River. Recent improvements include: an elevator, two EV chargers, a gas-fired back-up generator, and terraced gardens with fountains. While legally a condo for limited maintenance items, there are no dues and no officers. The only other unit in the condo is the other half of the house (2603 E. Franklin St.) This antebellum gem is scant blocks from the James River, the Capital Trail, airport and in-demand restaurants, bakeries and cafes.
