Queen Anne Drama: Turret, Veranda and Millwork
From the street, the house shows the full Queen Anne vocabulary: picturesque rooflines, decorative exterior shingles, a graceful turret and a sweeping curved veranda. Inside, the listing describes a handcrafted cherry wood staircase with carved details, a stained-glass window of the Four Seasons above the stair, original hardwood floors, substantial moldings, paneled doors, decorative fireplaces and historic windows with their original wavy glass.
Restoration Since 1974 — and Modern Comfort
Beginning in 1974, the listing says an extensive restoration researched and recreated historic wallpaper, carpeting, exterior colors and decorative finishes while adding modern mechanicals. Among them is a water-source heat pump using underground piping and an exterior heat-exchange setup. That is unusual for an 1891 house — ask for service records and how the system performs in Virginia winters and summers.
Built for J.K. Dimmick, Kept by the Harveys
The home was originally built for J.K. Dimmick, general manager of the Radford Land Improvement Company, during Radford’s industrial boom. Lewis Harvey acquired it in 1906, and it stayed closely tied to the Harvey family for generations — hence the name. The grounds add a historic carriage house plus workshop and outbuilding space.
Auction Caveats and Buyer Homework
- Auction rules: Get the full terms in writing — deposit, buyer premium if any, closing timeline, as-is clauses.
- List price: Treat $175,000 as marketing, not a guaranteed sale price.
- Historic rules: National Register listing does not always block changes, but local rules might. Ask before planning exterior work.
- Inspection: Large 1891 houses hide roof, foundation, electrical and moisture issues. Inspect before you bid if the auction allows.
- Bath count: Confirm exact full vs half baths.
- Carriage house: Inspect separately for structure and permitted uses.
- Insurance: Historic wood-frame homes can be harder or costlier to insure.
