About 401 College St
Step into a storybook setting with this enchanting historic home, gracefully set on a corner lot in the heart of Petersburg. From the welcoming front porch—perfect for rocking chairs, sweet tea, and warm summer evenings—to the walkable downtown location, this home captures the romance of small-town Southern living while blending modern comforts.
Inside, the main level unfolds with timeless charm. The formal dining room, highlighted by double swinging doors, built-ins, moldings, and a fireplace, invites gatherings both elegant and cozy. The living room offers another classic fireplace, while sunlight streams into the airy family room. The kitchen is the heart of the home, pairing old-world beauty with modern craftsmanship: a French LaCornue gas range and custom vent hood, marble counters, stainless appliances, an oversized island, a live-edge breakfast bench, and floor-to-ceiling cabinetry with oversized pantry. A main-level primary suite with full bath, laundry room, and guest bath complete this level with convenience and style.
Upstairs, two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a loft create a welcoming retreat. Hardwood floors, intricate moldings, original built-ins, and period details whisper of history while tasteful updates provide ease of modern living.
Outdoors, the property offers off-street parking, a storage building, and plenty of space on the corner lot for gardens, gatherings, or simply enjoying the peaceful rhythm of the town. Many renovations have been lovingly completed, though opportunities remain to add your personal touches and continue the story this home has told for generations.
Just over an hour from Nashville and within minutes of shopping and amenities, this residence is more than a place to live—it is a piece of history, a canvas for memories, and an invitation to experience true Southern charm.
