Cozy and comfortable 3-bedroom, 2-bath classic two-story Farmhouse with spacious yard, within easy walking distance of downtown. Built in 1900 and enlarged and modernized, this venerable 2-story home features a living room with a wood burning fireplace, a country kitchen, a large dining room, a laundry room, a sunroom/sitting area, three bedrooms, two baths and a partial basement. Comprised of 3 lots, the property has plenty of space for entertaining and pets, plus room for gardening and outdoor activities. Two large maple trees frame the front of the home and shade the yard. The welcoming covered porch has four tapered columns, and provides a nice spot for enjoying the porch swing and optional wicker sofa and chairs. Set in a quiet neighborhood where strolling and dog walking are common activities, the home dates back to an early turn-of-the-century era when it was surrounded by farmland. The porch opens to the living room, where the focal point is a wood burning fireplace with a wood mantel and slate hearth. Like most of the home, the living room features original thin-plank hardwood flooring. This corner room has plenty of natural light and a ceiling fan. Classic French doors open to the chandeliered dining room, which in turn connects to the kitchen in the rear. The kitchen has white cabinetry and laminate counters with a porcelain double sink. The ceiling features exposed rafters. Appliances include a Samsung gas range and side-by-side refrigerator-freezer. Three additional rooms are on the main level near the kitchen - a laundry room with a Frigidaire front-loading washer and a Maytag Energy Star dryer, a pantry with built-in shelving, and a full bath with a shower and pedestal sink. The three upstairs bedrooms can be accessed by either the main staircase or a smaller rear staircase. All three are corner rooms with plenty of light and cross-ventilation, and all feature original oak flooring. The primary bedroom has two closets. The bedrooms share a hallway bath with a tiled tub/shower and porcelain sink. The upper level also includes a sunroom/sitting area with an Eastern exposure, an excellent spot for a home office, reading nook, houseplants, or all three. Added in later years, this room has heart pine wood flooring. Basement access is in the kitchen. The basement has a concrete floor and is essentially a storage and utility area, divided into two rooms. Heating and air conditioning are provided by a gas furnace and two outdoor units. The spacious yard is lined on two sides by stately evergreen trees, and there are two apple trees. The home is an easy 5-minute stroll from downtown Lewisburg, with shopping, services, fine dining, galleries and entertainment. Annual events in this historic, picturesque town include two food festivals and the Lewisburg Literary Festival. The Greenbrier Valley Theatre presents year-round live performances, and Carnegie Hall offers music on stage and at outdoor summer concerts. The State Fair of West Virginia takes place every year for 10 days in August in Fairlea, only 2 miles away. The Greenbrier resort in nearby White Sulphur Springs is one of the world's top luxury destinations. Set on 11,000 acres, the hotel's many offerings include multiple golf courses, a spa, a tennis complex, a private casino, over fifty boutique shops and a dozen restaurants. The 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.
