The Lafayette House - Historic Downtown Lewisburg, WV
Built in 1909 and thoughtfully expanded in 2000, The Lafayette House blends turn-of-the-century elegance with modern comfort. This charming two-story home sits just two blocks from the heart of downtown Lewisburg in the Historic District and offers 2,800 ± sq ft of living space with 5 bedrooms and 4 full baths, including bedroom/ bathroom suites on each floor. A columned front porch with brass lanterns, a porch swing, and colorful flower beds welcomes you home. Step inside the inviting foyer featuring an original coal-burning fireplace (non-operable) that adds character and warmth. To the left, oak-trimmed double doors open to a library/study with built-in bookcases and an elegant chandelier. Adjacent, the living room boasts a stunning stone fireplace with gas logs, recessed lighting, and large east-facing windows that fill the space with morning sunshine. French doors lead to a side deck that wraps around to the front porch, perfect for entertaining or relaxing outdoors.
The main-level primary suite offers convenience and accessibility, featuring a large closet and a full bath with a jetted tub/shower, safety bars, and porcelain fixtures. The kitchen and dining room encompass the rear of the home--ideal for family gatherings. The spacious kitchen features exposed ceiling beams, pegged oak floors, custom cabinetry, a sunny garden window, and a breakfast nook overlooking the backyard through a window seat. Appliances include a Frigidaire stainless refrigerator, Frigidaire microwave, Whirlpool wall oven, Kenmore range, and GE dishwasher. A door off the kitchen opens to the back deck and yard. The main level also includes a laundry nook and a second full bath with a tiled shower-tub and pedestal sink.
Upstairs, an oak staircase leads to four corner bedrooms, each with double windows for natural light and cross-ventilation. Two baths serve the upper floor, one featuring a claw-foot tub original to the home with a retrofitted marble vanity, and another with a tiled bath-shower and antique-style vanity.
The unfinished basement showcases the home's stone foundation and provides excellent storage space, along with an accessible walk-up attic. Outside, mature oak, maple, and walnut trees offer shade over a beautifully landscaped yard. The rear of the property is bordered by an alleyway, offering the potential for a future garage or off-street parking.
