Roseland has submitted a proposal  to the City of Williamsburg Planning commission to rearrange the residential portion of High Street. Roseland announced some time ago that the number of townhouses at High Street would be reduced from 53 to 33. Replacing those townhouses will be an additional 108 condominium units on the south side of Treyburn Drive. That will also reduce the number of condo units in the proposed third phase of High Street along the north side of Treyburn by 88, so the total number of dwellings proposed for High Street remains constant at 574. Prices for the condos should run in the $200,000-$300,000’s.

The residential section of High Street includes 574 dwelling units: 191 rental apartments ( Sterling Manor -construction completed); 53 townhouses (preliminary plat approved in August 2005 – 16 have been completed); and 330 condominiums (not yet under construction).

This proposal is for  approval for the Treyburn Manor Condominiums, which will replace 20 of the 53 existing townhouse lots.

The Treyburn Manor Condominiums will be a four story condominium building  There will be three floors of condominiums above the parking level, with 36 units per floor, for a total of 108 units. The anticipated dwelling unit breakdown is 49 one bedroom units, eight one-bedroom + den units, 42 two-bedroom units, and nine two bedroom + den units.

The construction of the Treyburn Manor Condominiums will reduce the number of condominiums that can be built on the south side of Kings Manor Drive from the originally proposed 330 units to no more than 242 units based on the 574 dwelling unit maximum for the property. The condominiums are proposed to be built in two phases. The first phase of 57 units will include the portion of the condominium building fronting on Kings Manor Drive and Manor Boulevard. The second phase will include the remainder of the building fronting on Kings Manor Drive and Shadow Lane, as well as the clubhouse and swimming pool at the northeast corner of Treyburn Drive and Kings Manor Drive.

Note :Although these are condos from the exterior they look like town homes.

claibornecondowilliamsburg A townhouse is like a house in that the owner owns both the structure and the land on which it sits; but it is not free-standing, so “the land on which it sits” is limited to the front and back yards. Town homes are connected to one another in a row, and are usually one,two or three stories tall. It is important to note that townhouse refers to the type of house and not to the type of ownership.  The ownership responsibility in a townhouse (townhome) is the same as for a house; however, there may be differing circumstances from development to development, city to city or state to state regarding who owns the outside walls, roof, etc. of the structure which must be verified with local authorities.

claiborneentrance_edited Like townhouses, condominiums are attached to one another. If you own a condo, you do not own the land surrounding your living space. A condo owner owns only the unit itself, which is taxed as an individual entity, and sometimes a percentage of the common areas of the community.  It is important to note that condominium (condo) refers only to type of ownership and is NOT a type of house.

Claiborne offers it’s residents a beautiful clubhouse with outdoor terrace and walking trails throughout the community. There are approximately  120 homes in the community.

claiborne_edited The monthly condo/home owner fee in Claiborne  is $165 . It covers all common Area Maintenance ( entrances, Clubhouse , all exterior home maintenance , all exterior lawn maintenance and some insurance.

History:

The original White Hall Tavern was built in 1805 by William Geddy, who was an upper middle class planter and blacksmith. He built the home for his son (james Geddy) who was a silversmith, and the purpose of the home was to represent “the improving quality of housing for all Virginians during the early Republican period.” Tax records have indicated that because William Geddy was a wealthy planter, he most likely possessed a number of adult slaves as well.

During the mid-1800s in the midst of the United States Civil War, the plantation home served as a site crucial to the Confederate Army. Due to its convenient location within a somewhat close proximity to Richmond, the capital of the Confederacy, it was a site that provided important intelligence gathering and distribution of information pertinent to the South’s advancement in the war.

The 200 acres of surrounding land had been in the family since the 1760’s. The United States Department of the Interior declared it a national historical landmark in 2007.
