A classic example of Greek Revival architecture with tasteful additions is one of the reasons Auburn is on both the Virginia and National Registers of Historic Places. It is an outstanding property in a wonderful setting of fields and woods, all in the classic small town of Bowling Green.
The house and 17.2 acres are not subject to any conservation easements.
You can add-on to the house or tear it down. Only zoning and subdivision ordinances of the Town of Bowling Green apply with other ordinances. The state and federal governments have no authority of what you can do with the house, unless you want to participate in the tax credit programs.
Please use the detailed Narrative found in the Document Section of Bright.
A great feature of being on the historic registers is, if someone chooses, to grant a conservation easement to generate federal tax deductions and Virginia tax credits. Home improvement projects might qualify for a 25% Virginia tax credit.
Wood floors have a patina, luster which is warm and a contrast to other flooring types. Rooms are well proportioned. A large, screened porch in the back of the house provides great views of the gardens, fields, and woods. The sunroom with many windows is a great source of warmth and light in fall, winter, and spring. Photos of magnificent flower gardens are found in the books opened in the kitchen.
STAIRS are unique to the second floor. Instead of a long steep staircase, a short set of stairs leads to a landing and then to the main bedroom. The second set of stairs goes from the landing to a hall and the other two bedrooms.
A separate two car garage is toward the back of the house and behind the garage is a shed for tools. The dog lots are near the garage. About 10.25 acres is farmed with the rental agreement year to year. The farmer has the right to harvest his crops. The Owner will pay no roll-back taxes.
The property has three (3) tax maps, the tax parcel with the main house and outbuildings and two other tax parcels of record which might be buildable house lots. Please see the Narrative in the Document Section of Bright.
PLEASE remove your shoes when going inside the house. There are several chairs at the back porch, where the lockbox is located.
