Unique corner lot on the main business street for Historic Bolivar/Harpers Ferry. Ready to build on. Has sewer and water hookup. Zoned commercial/residential. Build a home close to schools, public library, parks and restaurants. Locate your business in this ideal business location with lots of traffic, especially during tourist season. Internet service is good. Before demolition of the 2000 sq ft house that was there, the house was used by an e-commerce/mail order company. The owner's residence was upstairs. Before that it was a general store. If you are standing in the lot facing Washington St you will see a 7-11 store located diagonally to your right; a commercial building across the street, previously "The Pub" restaurant; a new doctors office diagonally to your left; on your left is a residence. The large building on your right is Harpers Ferry Middle School. Behind the lot and behind the wooden fence is another residence. Low property taxes, especially when compared to nearby Virginia and Maryland. Just minutes from Route 340 for commute by car to Virginia, Maryland or DC. The Harpers Ferry train station provides an easy commute to Washington, DC with the MARC train or Amtrak train. I am happy to work with real estate brokers and agents. The years ago the property was a gas station. The pumps and tanks have been removed, but some of the soil near the road below the surface is contaminated with gasoline. The West Virginia Department of Enviornmental Remediation has a record of this and has classified the condition as an abondoned tank. They will remove the contaminated soil when there is enough money in the WV state funds.
