Welcome to 1718 Avery Street, where historic charm meets everyday comfort in the heart of Parkersburg’s historic district. Listed on the National Historical Registry, this beautifully maintained home offers a thoughtful blend of timeless character and practical updates—both inside and out.
Step onto the wide southern-style front porch, perfect for enjoying warm evenings or morning coffee. Inside, original hardwood floors carry throughout the main level, complemented by built-in cabinetry, French doors, and original pocket doors that add charm and function to the living spaces. The kitchen has been tastefully updated with quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, and a spacious pantry with pull-out shelving.
Upstairs, you’ll find multiple spacious bedrooms, along with the convenience of a second-floor laundry—no more hauling baskets up and down stairs. The third floor adds even more flexibility with additional bedrooms, a full bath, and bonus storage or creative space.
Outdoor living is a standout here. The backyard features a fully fenced area for privacy, pets, or play. A screened-in, covered deck offers the perfect spot to relax in the shade, while the connected open-air deck is ideal for summer gatherings, grilling, or stargazing. Native West Virginia perennials like lavender, thyme, and asparagus add natural beauty and a sense of peace throughout the seasons.
With a detached garage equipped with electric and so many unique, welcoming features, this home is a rare opportunity to enjoy both history and comfort in a truly special setting.
