Exceptionally desirable, comfortable, picturesque 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath home with private patio and yard, near downtown in the popular Graham Addition neighborhood.
Built in 1927 and tastefully renovated in 2002, this charming cottage-style home features a living room with a woodburning fireplace, a contemporary kitchen with attractive cabinetry and high-end appliances, a dining room, a den, two bedrooms, and a bath, and a partially finished full basement. In addition to a lovely patio and private yard, the property includes a corner lot across the street suitable for building. Originally a Gordon-Van Tine "Ready Built" kit house, this inviting home features wood siding, a shingled French Gable roof, oak flooring, several arched doorways, plenty of closet space, and built-in cabinets and bookcases. The ten-foot ceilings create an expansive, open feeling in the rooms. Set on a corner lot in a friendly, walkable neighborhood, the beautifully landscaped yard includes stately evergreen, holly, and dogwood trees, and a relaxing patio with vine-covered walls.
An eye-catching brass fox knocker graces the front door, flanked by glass side lights. The pillared entry opens directly to the living room, which has recessed lighting and a woodburning fireplace with a brick hearth, bordered by built-in storage cabinets artfully tucked under two windows on either side of the mantle.
The kitchen is accessed from either the dining room, a passageway off the main hallway, or a side entry. It features attractive custom cabinets with glass doors, and Corian counters with an extra-deep stainless-steel double sink. The appliances coordinate with the kitchen's color scheme and include a GE Monogram refrigerator with a freezer drawer, a GE induction countertop stove, a GE Profile oven, a GE wall-mounted microwave, and a Bosch dishwasher. The pantry door neatly incorporates handy spice racks.
The adjacent dining room has built-in floor-to-ceiling bookcases, recessed lighting and a colorful Tiffany-style chandelier.
Two louvered doors open from the living room to a central hallway, creating a privacy screen between the front and back areas of the home. The hallway leads to a den/tv room, an arched passage to the kitchen (which contains a built-in liquor cabinet and laundry chute), and the two bedrooms and bath.
The bedrooms are similar in size, suitable for king-size beds, and both are corner rooms with two windows for cross-ventilation. They share a hallway bath with an attractive marble tile floor, a shower tub with a stained-glass window, a vanity with a Corian counter, a linen closet, and recessed lighting.
The full basement is accessed via a stairway from the kitchen. This ample space is divided into a laundry room, an office, a workshop, and two utility/storage areas. The laundry room has front-loading Samsung appliances, a utility sink, and built-in shelves. The spacious office has fluorescent and recessed lighting. The workshop includes an impressive built-in workbench, plus a table and shelving. The other two spaces are multipurpose. The basement also has a half-bath.
The attractive patio, garden shed, and yard add outdoor privacy. Just beyond the double carport, the patio has bluestone and brick pavers and vine-covered walls and is bordered on one side by the large garden shed, which matches the home. A festive red umbrella capable of covering the entire patio conveys with the home, adding shade to this space. The patio is divided from the backyard by the garden shed, formerly the home's detached one-bay garage. Just past the shed, the grassy backyard, completely enclosed, is shielded from view by tall evergreens, creating a peaceful, private retreat.
Surprisingly, this nearly 100-year-old home doesn't show its age. Totally renovated in 2002 by one of the area's premiere construction firms, it boasts Sierra Pacific triple-pane windows and an updated Trane cooling system for energy efficiency, a modern kitchen and bath, and contemporary design touches.
The property also includes a .25-acre lot immediately across the street. Vacant buildable lots are a rarity in Lewisburg, particularly in this long-established, popular neighborhood, an easy 5-minute stroll from downtown.
Vibrant, picturesque Lewisburg has fine dining, shopping, galleries, and year-round entertainment. Annual events include the State Fair of West Virginia, Taste of Our Towns, the Lewisburg Chocolate Festival, and the Lewisburg Literary Festival. The Greenbrier Valley Theatre presents year-round live performances, and there's music on stage and at outdoor Ivy Terrace concerts at Carnegie Hall.
The Greenbrier resort in White Sulphur Springs, 8 miles away, is one of the world's top luxury destinations. Set on 11,000 acres, the hotel's seemingly endless offerings include multiple golf courses, a spa, a tennis complex, a private casino, over fifty boutique shops, and a dozen restaurants.
The nearby Greenbrier River draws anglers and kayakers, and the 75-mile Greenbrier River Trail paralleling the river is popular with hikers and cyclists. Snowshoe Ski Resort, the largest ski complex in the Mid-Atlantic States, is a scenic 90-minute drive on country roads to the north.
