Step into timeless elegance at the Oliver Mansion, a remarkable 1910 Colonial Revival estate at 200 Oliver Avenue, Crewe, VA. Priced at $485,000, this 5-bedroom, 5-bath residence (3 full and 2 half) blends historic grandeur with modern convenience, offering nearly 5,000 square feet of finished living space on a beautifully landscaped property.
A Historic Legacy with Modern Comfort
Originally built by T. B. Oliver, the visionary who brought pure drinking water to Crewe, the Oliver Mansion stands as one of the town’s most iconic historic homes. The moment you approach, the wide wrap-around porch welcomes you with its stately steel columns imported from England, setting the tone for the craftsmanship within.
Elegant Interiors with Timeless Character
Inside, the home reveals a captivating mix of old-world beauty and modern updates. Sunlight streams through large windows, highlighting 11-foot ceilings, hardwood floors, and intricate moldings that showcase the artistry of the early 1900s. Every corner offers something special — two grand staircases, arched doorways, decorative transoms, and six fireplaces with ornate mantles and tile surrounds that speak to the home’s rich past.
Spacious Living & Entertaining Areas
The main level is designed for both elegance and comfort. Two generous living rooms provide ample space for entertaining, while a formal dining room is ready for memorable gatherings. The updated kitchen features granite countertops, cherry cabinetry, and newer stainless steel appliances, blending functionality with refined style.
Upstairs Comforts & a Stunning Third Floor Retreat
On the second floor, a wide central hall opens to a cozy sitting area and leads to a balcony with a chandelier view of Oliver Avenue, perfect for relaxing evenings. The third floor offers a true surprise — over 1,000 square feet of recreational space, including a bar, pool table, and office area. This versatile level is ideal for entertaining, creative projects, or simply unwinding in style.
Exceptional Quality & Thoughtful Updates
Built from solid brick with 14-inch-thick walls, the mansion was constructed to endure. The original Buckingham slate roof and three-car brick garage further reflect the craftsmanship of its era. Recent updates ensure lasting comfort, including a remodeled bath, partial roof and window replacements, new chandeliers and lighting, a hot water heater, modern appliances, and solar panels to enhance energy efficiency.
Location & Lifestyle
Located less than 30 minutes from Farmville or Chesterfield, the Oliver Mansion offers small-town charm with easy access to nearby amenities. It’s a home where history and community meet — where every sunset over the porch feels like a page from Crewe’s storybook past.
This is more than a home — it’s a legacy waiting for its next chapter. The Oliver Mansion is offered SOLD AS-IS.
