Property Description
Built in 1855 by tobacco grower John W. Burroughs, Waverly Mansion is a stunning example of Italianate Victorian architecture, notable for its rare Big-House two-staircase layout. The grand, three-story floating staircase greets you in the entry hall, flanked by twin parlors, a formal dining room, and a thoughtfully renovated kitchen. The home's intricate moldings, original woodwork, marble mantels, and soaring ceilings speak to its craftsmanship and preservation. The spacious upper-level bedrooms include a luxurious primary suite with spa-style bathroom, utility room, and walk-in closet—all modern enhancements that were added with great care and respect for the home's character.
Extensive structural and aesthetic restoration has been completed, guided by a historic preservation specialist who also worked on windows at the White House. Exterior repairs used ship-grade wood originally imported from England in the 1800s. Updates include chimney restoration, installation of gas fireplaces, a wood-burning stove, new porch flooring and rails, and a stabilized front porch.
For the equestrian enthusiast, the property features a professionally designed dressage arena with quality footing and drainage, multiple board-fenced paddocks with run-ins, and a 12-stall barn (two stalls function as run-ins). Additional features include an indoor wash area, owner's and boarders' tack rooms, a manure pit, and a well-appointed apartment—ideal for a tenant or barn manager. Several outbuildings echo the estate's historic style, including the original smokehouse, summer kitchen, and a small animal barn.
Whether you're drawn by its equestrian infrastructure, historical relevance, or the serenity of country living near the city, Waverly Mansion offers a truly unmatched lifestyle. A timeless estate where horses roam, history lives, and no detail has been overlooked.
