Step back in time with this grand Victorian residence, originally built in 1860 and thoughtfully renovated in 1880. Known as the Dr. Hisey & Mitchell House, this remarkable property once served as Edinburg’s very first pharmacy, and is now ready for its next chapter.
Spanning over 5,000 square feet, this massive structure sits in the heart of historic Edinburg, Virginia. The home showcases ornate German-style trim and other period architectural elements you simply won’t find in modern construction. Multiple porches, including a welcoming wraparound front porch, add to the home’s curb appeal and historic charm.
Despite its architectural grandeur, the listing photos don’t do the home justice—there’s so much beautiful woodwork, trim, and detail inside that remains hidden from view. With a structure this unique, it’s a missed opportunity not to see more of the craftsmanship that makes it special.
Currently configured as a multi-unit property with three finished apartments and a storefront, this home offers exceptional versatility for investors, historic preservationists, or anyone looking for a live/work setup.

- First Floor:
- Large one-bedroom apartment
- Functional storefront space — perfect for a business or studio
- Second Floor:
- Spacious one-bedroom apartment
- Generous two-bedroom apartment with a charming side balcony
- Third Floor:

Additional Highlights:
- Off-street rear parking lot for 8–10 vehicles
- FOR SALE BY OWNER
- Possibility to restore as a grand single-family residence or continue as income-generating apartments
- Opportunity to preserve a piece of Edinburg history with smart restoration choices
At $385,000, the price may seem ambitious for the area, but with over 5,000 square feet, income potential, and rich local history, it could be a valuable opportunity for the right buyer. That said, further renovations should be approached carefully to preserve the home’s architectural integrity and original details.
If you’re someone with a passion for restoration, preservation, or historic real estate, this property is well worth a closer look.
