The rehab on this home stalled due to COVID and other circumstances. The home is being offered “as is.”

This home was built between 1907 and 1910 for attorney William Leigh and his wife Louis Cabell Carrington Leigh.  Its prime location was in the 1902 subdivision called “Jefferson Estates.”  The property was converted to three apartments sometime before 1960. However, with much of its original trim and fireplaces intact, its return to an elegant single-family residence is underway. There are amazing sunny spaces in the family kitchen and second floor sunroom.
