Preserving the Past: The Restoration of Cherry Walk
Cherry Walk is a beacon of American heritage and architectural grandeur in the serene Millers Tavern Rural Historic District. Built in 1781 for Carter Croxton, a notable figure from the Revolutionary War, this historic property has meticulously preserved the charm and significance of its origins. The main house, renowned for its exquisite Flemish bond brickwork and classic wood shake gambrel roof, provides a striking glimpse into the architectural tastes of the late 18th century Tidewater Cape. As you walk through the original doors, you will be transported back in time. Every step you take on the preserved floors and every touch of the original hardware, windows, and mantels will contribute to the experience.
A Blend of History and Modern Comfort
The current owners have undertaken a sensitive and monumental restoration in recent years, focusing on the main house, fencing, and lush gardens. This dedication to preservation is matched with modern comforts, such as the newly installed in-ground salt pool with its state-of-the-art salt system, offering a relaxing respite on hot summer days. The property does not just reside in history; it invites you to live it, enhanced with modern amenities that ensure comfort without compromising historical integrity.
