Century old wisteria. Circa 1896 in the Virginia mountains. $275,000

This is a pretty home! The interior surprised me. The home was built in 1896 by engineer, Horace Fox. He was the brother of author, John Fox Jr. The home has only been owned by two families. The house is located on .30 acres in Big Stone Gap, Virginia. A century old wisteria plant is on the porch. Not sure how I feel about that, but would hate to take it down after a century. The home features a great front porch, beautiful hardwood floors and tall ceilings. Three bedrooms, three bathrooms and 3,601 square feet. $275,000
