Springfield, circa 1828, is a historic treasure and icon in the village of Heathsville. A gracious, opulently appointed historic property, Springfield has retained the original features that make it an absolute purist's dream. Built to last by William Harding in 1828 and updated in 1850 with Greek Revival elements that survive to this day, the property is in need of restoration. Breathtaking ceiling medallions date to 1850. Heart pine floors, fireplaces, mantels, massive crown moldings, and a truly elegant staircase ascend to the second floor and the finished attic level. The original basement retains its period herringbone-paved floors. A stunning front portico (added in 1850) features original architectural elements, including a wrought-iron balustrade, columns, and a porch ceiling. Glorious gardens need some TLC but have fabulous bones, including ancient, towering magnolias, mature English boxwood, heirloom perennials, towering crepe myrtle, and more. Rare trees planted ages ago have created an arboretum of sorts. One of Northumberland County's historic Crown Jewels, this rare offering is a restoration-and-preservation buyer's dream. Public boat landings and pristine Northern Neck waterways are nearby. Located in the charming village of Heathsville, the Hughlett's Tavern Complex, with Farmer's Market, Tavern Restaurant, Northumberland Historical Society, and YMCA, is within walking distance. An added plus is the easy drive to Kilmarnock, Irvington, Montross, Tappahannock, and Warsaw. Convenient to Richmond, Williamsburg, and Fredericksburg. Within 2 hours of Washington, D.C. The Northern Neck offers fine and casual dining, world-class resorts, wineries, historic sites, marinas, farmers markets, fresh seafood, farm-to-table offerings, grocery stores, boutiques, arts, culture, live music venues, fishing, medical facilities, fitness centers, and more! Shown by appointment only.
