Nestled in the heart of historic Alderson, West Virginia, on the Greenbrier County side of town, stands a graceful, vintage home built in 1887 - NOT IN THE FLOOD PLAIN - a true testament to timeless Appalachian charm and craftsmanship. With its stately presence and classic architecture, spanning over 2,000 square feet, this 4-bedroom, 1.5-bath residence offers more than just a place to live - it tells a story. From the moment you step onto the wide, covered front porch, you're transported to a quieter, simpler time. Imagine warm summer evenings spent on a rocking chair, listening to the chirp of crickets and the distant sound of the Greenbrier River gently flowing just a short stroll away. The porch isn't just an entryway; it's an invitation to pause, relax, and soak in the character of this remarkable property. Inside, the home has been lovingly preserved and thoughtfully updated. Original woodwork and tall windows echo the elegance of the late 19th century, while modern comforts like central HVAC bring year-round ease to everyday living. The spacious layout provides room for privacy and gathering, whether hosting family in the generous living areas or retreating to one of the peaceful upstairs bedrooms. The kitchen and dining spaces blend old-world charm with practical updates, ideal for preparing a meal after a walk to the local market. The full bathroom on the second floor and the convenient half bathroom on the main level ensure both comfort and functionality. Step outside and you're within walking distance of everything that makes Alderson special. Quaint shops, seasonal farmers markets, and friendly faces await downtown. The nearby Greenbrier River offers endless recreational opportunities -whether it's kayaking, fishing, or simply enjoying a walk along its scenic banks. This 1887 gem isn't just a house- it's a cornerstone of Alderson's heritage. A place where history, community, and natural beauty meet. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence or a special retreat, this home offers the rare chance to live in a piece of West Virginia's story. - OUTBUILDINGS and BACK OF PROPERTY ACCESS - The back of the property adjoins a town alley, providing convenient access. - The property includes three buildings behind the house, including a workshop with electricity and a concrete floor, measuring 10 feet x 18 feet.
