About this home
Known historically as ''Brookside'' and later referred to as ''The Roosevelt House,'' this remarkable historic residence in Abingdon offers an extraordinary blend of preserved character, architectural craftsmanship, and modern convenience. Named for the peaceful brook flowing beside the home, the property is also tied to local historical accounts indicating Eleanor Roosevelt briefly lived here as a child while the home operated as a boarding house. According to historic records, the current residence was constructed in 1874 after the previous home on the site was destroyed in an 1856 fire.
Inside, the home showcases the timeless craftsmanship rarely found in modern construction, featuring beautiful original woodwork, original door hardware, craftsman-style trim and details, multiple original-finish fireplaces, large built-in bookcases, and soaring ceilings measuring approximately 10 feet on the main level and 9 feet upstairs. The main level offers a spacious and inviting layout with a large parlor room, formal dining room, expansive living room, kitchen, and a main-level primary bedroom suite complete with a large en suite bath, walk-in closet, and laundry area.
A dramatic foyer staircase leads to the second level, where three additional oversized bedrooms each feature their own private en suite full bath. The upper level also includes a sitting area, bonus room, large storage room, and additional flexible space. In total, the home features seven fireplaces, including three on the main level, three upstairs, and one in the basement. Two of the main-level fireplaces are equipped with natural gas logs.
While rich in historic charm, the property also benefits from numerous modern updates and conveniences, including two central heating and cooling systems, updated plumbing and electrical systems, and updated kitchen and bath fixtures. Outside, the property continues to impress with a large covered rear porch overlooking the landscaped lawn, a stone water feature, privacy fencing, full-size original wood shutters, metal roof, full unfinished basement, detached two-car garage with motorized lift for upper-level storage access, and a separate site-built storage building ideal for lawn equipment or additional storage needs.
