This house is known as Seven Gables. Legend has it that Lafayette visited this house. Seven Gables was built in 1790. The house is located on 2.47 acres in Courtland, Virginia. I hate that the house has been updated so much, but it does have nice details. The house features a covered front porch, wood floors, wainscoting, baseboards, in-laid wood floors, updated kitchen and a claw foot tub. There is a guest cottage on the property with a full bathroom. There is a cemetery on the property. Three bedrooms, three bathrooms and 3,660 square feet. $389,,000
