Meet Sue Ellen
Creative, Conscientious, Laid Back
I give my guests space, (once they've had a quick walk-thru & read the house manual), but do enjoy good conversation, if desired. I work from home and care for the neighborhood Community cats.
On a typical day...
I’m a clean person and keep a clean house.
When I host guests...
I’m helpful and hands on. I can show them where to go and help them get there.

About the Area
The Old West End National Historic District boasts perhaps the finest and most concentrated collection of Victorian and Edwardian residential architecture in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Lining Main Street and adjacent side streets just west of the River District is a splendid assemblage of the full range of architectural styles from the AnteBellum era to World War I.
Just one block from Main Street, which was long referred to as "Millionaire's Row," this house was built on the 1st lot divided from the lands of The Sutherlin Mansion. Jefferson Davis took refuge there during the last week of the Civil War when slavery was finally abolished. Since then, two other homes have been built between this house and the Mansion and many homes on surrounding former lands of the Sutherlin Mansion, making up a large part of the Old West End neighborhood.
Also, right down the street is Crema & Vine, a delightful café and wine bar. Further down Main street are many shops, restaurants, breweries and even a lovely walking/bike path along the river.
