Property Description

Step back in time without giving up modern comfort at the Oliver Mansion, one of Crewe's most admired historic homes. Built in 1910 by T. B. Oliver - the visionary credited with bringing pure drinking water to town - this 5 Bedroom, 5 Bath (3 Full and 2 Half), Colonial Revival masterpiece was designed to impress and built to last. From the moment you step onto the wide wrap-around porch framed by steel columns (imported from England), you feel the grace of another era. Inside, an abundance of windows allow sunlight to dance across 11-foot ceilings, hardwood floors, and intricate moldings. Every detail adds charm: two sweeping staircases, arched doorways, transoms, and six fireplaces with beautiful mantles and tile work surround. The main level offers grand entertaining spaces - twin living rooms, a formal dining room, and a kitchen with granite counters, cherry cabinetry, and newer stainless steel appliances. Upstairs, a spacious hall provides room for a cozy sitting area and opens to a delightful balcony accented by a chandelier overlooking Oliver Avenue. The third floor surprises with a 1,000+ sq ft recreation room complete with bar, pool table, and office space - ideal for parties or creative pursuits. With 4,964 sq ft of finished living space and an additional 1,943 sq ft unfinished basement, this home offers room for everyone. Built of solid brick with 14-inch-thick walls, an original Buckingham slate roof, and a 3-car brick garage, it's a lasting testament to early-20th-century craftsmanship. Updates include: Remodeled bath, partial roof and partial window replacement, chandeliers/lighting, hot water heater, appliances, and solar panels for efficiency. Less than 30 minutes to Farmville or Chesterfield, the Oliver Mansion offers small-town charm, rich history, and room to dream. Here, every sunset over the wrap-around porch feels like you're part of Crewe's legacy - because in many ways, you are. SOLD AS-IS. Home has exterior deferred maintenance and also has some knob & tube electrical.
