245 W 26TH St

Built in 1889, The W.N. Seay House is a beautifully preserved late-Victorian home listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Perched atop one of the highest ridges in Buena Vista, directly beside Southern Virginia University, the home enjoys sweeping views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the town below.

The grand covered porch, with its intricate gingerbread trim, carved porch supports, and ornate detailing, immediately transports you to another era. Inside, the home is filled with warmth, character, and impressive original details, including generously proportioned rooms, bay windows, original wood floors, elaborate woodwork, and fireplaces in nearly every room. The updated kitchen and two full bathrooms provide modern conveniences. Upstairs are three to four bedrooms, the second full bathroom, along with a spacious walk-up attic offering abundant storage and potential for additional use. Recent updates include central heating and air conditioning, replacement windows, and electrical improvements.

Outside, the home sits on a generous .44-acre lot shaded by majestic mature oak trees and native dogwoods, with plenty of room to enjoy the peaceful setting and incredible views.

The W.N. Seay House is being sold AS-IS, but is perfectly livable and ready for its next loving owners. A special opportunity to own a piece of Buena Vista history with remarkable architectural character in a beautiful setting, all at a competitive price.
