Historic Blackstone Home at Auction 710 College Avenue, Blackstone, Virginia Online Bidding Ends Thursday, June 25 at 11:00 AM Historic Elegance, Modern Comfort, and a Story More Than 120 Years in the Making Double A Auction & Realty is pleased to offer this grand historic residence located at 710 College Avenue in Blackstone, Virginia. Built in 1902, during the transition from the Victorian era into the Edwardian period, this remarkable home has stood for more than a century as generations of life, progress, and history unfolded around it. Once the home of well-known local physician Dr. White, the property carries the character, craftsmanship, and dignity of another time while offering the scale, updates, and conveniences desired by today’s buyers - over 3,600 square feet, five bedrooms, four full bathrooms, formal living spaces, an art studio, generous storage, and substantial exterior improvements, this is a rare opportunity to own one of Blackstone’s truly distinctive in-town properties. Inside, the home blends historic detail with thoughtful modernization. Formal areas include a gracious foyer, formal dining room, and formal living room with added crown molding, original wood floors in many areas, fireplace features, decorative columns, wall sconces, and carefully selected finishes that complement the home’s period character. The dining room includes antique columns sourced from Petersburg and a chandelier found at an antique shop in Midlothian, adding to the home’s layered sense of history. The kitchen has been substantially updated and offers quartz countertops, marble backsplash, ceramic tile floors, GE Profile appliances, lighted upper cabinetry, updated fixtures, crown molding, and an island with electrical outlets on both sides. A smaller eating area adjoining the kitchen provides a comfortable everyday dining space, while the formal dining room offers an elegant setting for gatherings and entertaining. The home includes four full bathrooms, with two on the first floor and two on the second floor. Two bathrooms have been updated, and one large bath on each floor features a deep two-person whirlpool tub with heated jets. The spacious primary suite includes a large bath, walk-in closet, deep heated jetted tub, double-headed shower, linen closet, and vintage chandelier. Upstairs, three large bedrooms, a front landing suitable for a sitting or reading area, and original wood floors in many spaces continue the home’s historic appeal. Additional interior features include a large laundry room with sink, vanity, and two closets; a family room with crown molding and updated finishes; a large walk-in closet with wraparound built-ins; and a dedicated art studio with vanity, sink, and ventilation designed for oil paint and finish use. The floored attic includes pull-down stairs, electricity, standing-height space, and ample storage. Outside, the property offers approximately 1.91 acres with public water and sewer, a fenced backyard, landscaped outdoor areas, and a deck with handrail tops replaced in 2026. A three-bay garage provides room for four vehicles and includes lofted storage, shelving, and electrical outlets. Behind the garage, a gravel driveway leads to an 18-foot shed with both 110V and 220V electrical service. Homes of this age, scale, and character are increasingly rare. 710 College Avenue offers historic presence, modern updates, generous living space, useful outbuildings, and a convenient Blackstone location close to shopping, employment, and major traffic corridors. This is more than a house. It is a piece of Blackstone history, carefully carried forward and ready for its next chapter. Mechanical and Functional Notes Important mechanical and improvement highlights include a main-house HVAC system replaced in 2024 and a Generac whole-house generator. The living room fireplace was inspected in 2022, with chimney repairs completed and a cap installed. The dining room fireplace remains closed off and would require further evaluation. The metal roof on the main house and garage has peeling paint, which the owner reports as cosmetic, with no known leaks. One HVAC unit serving the second-floor addition area is currently not working and is noted for buyer due diligence.
