Historic Home With Rare Architecture

What I Love:

Historic homes have a way of slowing the world down, and this remarkable property on Withers Road in Wytheville is one of those rare places where the past feels alive in the most comforting way. Once owned by J.E.B. Stuart in the 1800s, the home carries an undeniable sense of heritage, from its stately portico that stretches boldly to the sidewalk to its foyer crowned by a dramatic skylight tower crafted by a ship’s captain who once lived here. Inside, hardwood floors run throughout, giving each room warmth and continuity, while details like century-old marble in one of the bathrooms add a quiet sense of reverence.

This is truly one level living at its finest, offering three bedrooms and two baths, with one bedroom currently serving as a second living space for added flexibility. The large kitchen invites gatherings and holidays, with its generous island, breakfast nook, formal dining room, and updated appliances. A newer 30 x 36 two-bay garage adds practicality and storage, while the fenced yard and back deck make outdoor living feel relaxed and family friendly. Although the home is sold as is, it presents meaningful opportunity for first-time buyers, downsizers, or anyone seeking a distinctive historic residence with character, comfort, and lasting significance.

About the Town:

Wytheville is a place where mountain views, historic charm, and small town warmth meet. Its tree-lined streets, brick storefronts, and welcoming community rhythm make everyday life feel unhurried and inviting. The historic district especially carries a sense of pride, with architecture that reflects the region’s heritage and a peaceful atmosphere ideal for morning walks or conversations on the porch.

Locally owned shops, cozy cafés, and family-run restaurants weave together a strong sense of connection. Outdoor lovers appreciate the easy access to scenic drives, parks, and trails, while families enjoy the convenience of nearby amenities. Wytheville offers the rare balance of quiet living with the comforts of a town that still values community and tradition.

Agent Comments:

Here is your chance to own a truly iconic home in the historical district on Withers Road in Wytheville. These properties rarely become available. Formerly one of the homes of J.E.B. Stuart in the 1800's, this amazing home has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. This is the last known property in town that has a portico so large it extends into the public sidewalk. It was constructed this way so visitors could be dropped off under the porch by horse and buggy. The foyer has a large skylight tower that protrudes like a giant cupola above the house. This was designed and installed by a ship's captain who was another former owner. One of the baths has marble that is at least 100 years old. The expansive covered front porch is one of the most amazing in Southwest Virginia. One of the bedrooms is currently being used as another living room. Enjoy holidays and some great meals in the large welcoming kitchen with a large island, updated appliances and breakfast nook or in the formal dining room. Cook out on the back deck while you watch the kids and pets play in the large fenced in yard. Located on a corner lot, this property also comes with a newer 30 x 36 two bay garage. This is one level living at its finest. Hardwood floors throughout. This home exudes history for this area! With the exception of the stained glass windows, all of the other windows are newer insulated windows. All appliances are included with this home. Part of the roof was replaced in 2023.
