There are no words to describe this tastefully renovated 5 bedroom 2 1/2 bath Victorian home built in the early 1900’s with all the history to go with it.The neighborhood is a short walk from Fort Monroe, which was originally fortified by Captain John Smith in 1609 to protect Jamestown settlement. Though Phoebus is now a quiet community, during Prohibition the original owner operated a still in a secret portion of the basement, supplying spirits to the many speakeasies and gambling dens that peppered the area. The chimney from the still is hidden in the walls.In addition to the home’s character, charm and history, the house has been fully updated and restored over the past few years, including new electrical wiring, plumbing, roof, siding, and central HVAC system. The home qualifies for VA financing.The home has gorgeous hardwood floors on the 1st level. There are 9 and 10 foot ceilings throughout, with beautiful baseboards, crown moldings, and window and door casings. Come see it
