Property Description
Own a remarkable piece of Southwest Virginia history! Built in 1874 by General John D. Imboden, an entrepreneur and early visionary associated with the development of Big Stone Gap and Damascus, Virginia, this beautifully restored Queen Anne Victorian combines historic character with thoughtful modern updates. Perched on a hill overlooking the heart of Big Stone Gap, this distinctive 4-bedroom, 2-bath home showcases timeless Victorian architecture, including a cut sandstone foundation, impressive third-floor tower room, soaring 10-foot ceilings on the main level, 9-foot ceilings on the second floor, and stately 8-foot doors downstairs. Original details remain throughout the home, including hardwood flooring milled from local timber, original woodwork and wooden doorknobs, fragments of historic wallpaper. The home offers inviting outdoor spaces with two covered porches/terraces and beautiful seasonal views overlooking the town. A cellar/wine cellar is also a unique feature. Despite its peaceful, elevated setting, the property is conveniently located just minutes from downtown Big Stone Gap, schools, restaurants, and local amenities. Extensive improvements have been completed while preserving the home's historic appeal. Updates include electrical wiring and wall insulation in 2018; a metal roof and heat pump in 2020; water heater in 2022; renovated kitchen, appliances, and plumbing in 2023; two beautifully updated full bathrooms in 2024; and new ENERGY STAR windows, additional insulation, and a finished third floor in 2025. The third floor provides versatile space currently suited for a sewing/craft room, yoga room, and office. Additional improvements include new ceiling fans and light fixtures, along with fresh interior and exterior paint. Situated on an approximately 8,712-square-foot lot, this one-of-a-kind property offers the rare opportunity to own a beautifully updated historic home within walking distance of downtown while enjoying privacy, character, and picturesque views above Big Stone Gap. Historic charm, modern improvements, and an extraordinary connection to Southwest Virginia's past make this a property unlike any other.
