110 Gatewood Avenue

Crewe, VA 23930

Only 3 Minutes off Rt.360 or Rt.460, beautifully renovated, and move-in ready, this fine century-old home is on a quiet street just inside the Historic District in the Town of Crewe. Rich with history, Crewe is often referred to as the "town that Norfolk & Western built." In 1881, N&W purchased the Southside Railroad for their exciting new division headquarters to consist of locomotive repair shops, a rail yard, roundhouse, shops, power plant, and offices. They named the town "Crewe" after a famous rail center in England. Railroad engineers and developers impressively laid out the entire town for businesses to support railroad related executives, employees and their families who in the coming years would relocate there; hence the boom of beautifully built homes that followed. Constructed in 1924, this home stands as a testament to the architectural heritage of its era; the Roaring Twenties, a time of rapid economic growth. Step back in time with a spacious foyer and rooms that instantly transport you to the past with high ceilings, original wood floors, interior French doors, newer large windows/natural light, decorative fireplace, and an air of authenticity to every space. Even the kitchen retains its appeal with painted cabinets, yet newer quartz countertops, seamlessly blending modern comforts with historical charm. Inspired by French Grandmillennial Style, the interior design is by the seller, who is a former employee to one of Jacqueline Kennedy's preferred interior design firms, who also decorated the White House properties back in the day of the Kennedy Administration. The seller meticulously selected this property to bring back to its original glory and make available for its next chapter. It's move-in ready and all furniture, appliances, window treatments, and new electric push mower convey. From the interior's inviting ambiance, to the rear deck with new pergola overlooking the fenced backyard, this property is perfect for hosting gatherings, or relaxing from the hustle and bustle of everyday life!
