7005 Glen Roy Lane, Gloucester, VA 23061 - For Sale

Glen Roy, Circa 1853, on the Ware River Glen Roy encompasses almost 60 acres of farmland, woods, and sweeping lawns that extend to the river. Built in 1853, this Greek Revival is a classic four-over-four Georgian plan with a 3-section center hall and a central staircase that winds three floors up to a sky-lit cupola with widow's walk. Exhibiting a grand scale with 15-foot ceilings downstairs and 14-foot upstairs and 12 working fireplaces, the timeless proportions create an elegant, yet comforting ambiance.

A 19th century carriage house has become a 7-room guest house with two bedrooms, dining room, living room, kitchen and two baths. An early doctor's office is now a delightful library. A frame, 2-bay garage includes two 2nd-floor offices with kitchen. The swimming pool is framed by a picket fence and English border.
