More than a distinctive home of southern Virginia, this is an estate influenced by the architectural vision of Thomas Jefferson. Giant Poplars derives its name from the towering trees that offer solitude & tranquility on 4.95 acres. Step inside the two-story, 4,100 sq. ft. brick home & marvel at the white marble foyer with its circular floor design, soaring ceiling & fountain statue at the center. A winding staircase leads to the 2nd floor with 2 large bedrooms. Downstairs, one finds the primary bedroom with an en-suite, kitchen, formal dining room & a formal living room off to the side of the atrium with a marble-trimmed fireplace. A high-ceiling living room is lined by bookshelves. The home's brick patio is ideal for relaxing or entertaining beneath the stars. Giant Poplars has hosted weddings, parties & festive gatherings over the years. The front guest house, which needs repair but stands as one of Halifax County's most historically significant structures, was once home to a one-room schoolhouse & library. Great potential as a guest residence or studio-like dwelling. All this is just a stroll from historic downtown Halifax, with world-class dining & a friendly small-town vibe
