Description

*Showings start Friday April 18* Picturesque 3-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom cottage in downtown Lewisburg. Close to shops, restaurants and cultural amenities. Easy to maintain yard, plenty of parking.This appealing 2-story home has character, history and is literally a stone's throw from Washington Street, in the heart of the Greenbrier Valley. Built in 1900 and updated over the years, the 1936-square-foot home has a front porch, back deck and landscaping, but no yard, eliminating lawn chores. It faces a quiet, tree-lined street with parking, and has two private parking spaces in the rear. The property is zoned Office/Residential, and lends itself well to either use.A stone walkway leads from the sidewalk to the inviting front porch, perfect for rockers and a porch swing. Sugar maple trees provide shade, and boxwoods, rhododendrons, holly bushes, burning bushes and a Japanese maple add to its picturesque charm. Entering the home, the original oak floors catch the eye. The exceptionally spacious living room has recessed lighting, two built in bookcases, new windows and custom milled baseboards. This room would also make an ideal office or conference room, or could be divided into two rooms. The kitchen in the rear has been recently renovated with tile flooring, wood counters, birch cabinetry, recessed lighting and a deep stainless-steel sink. A GE electric range and a Frigidaire refrigerator-freezer convey. A half-bath is nearby, with tile flooring and a pedestal sink. An East-facing sunroom with 4 windows and new flooring provides a private nook and a perfect spot for houseplants. The second floor features the original hardwood flooring. Three bedrooms open from a large central landing with a built-in desk. Because of the age of the home, two of the three bedrooms lack closets, but if they are to be used as bedrooms the issue could be addressed by minor construction or antique wardrobes. They share a central bathroom. The crawl space basement contains the gas furnace and reveals details of the original stone foundation. The home features central heat and air-conditioning. The property's compact size and maintenance-free yard make it ideal as an office or care-free residence. The convenient location just off Washington Street puts Lewisburg's vibrant downtown only a short stroll away. The commercial center of the Greenbrier Valley, Lewisburg has been called one of America's best small towns, with boutiques, galleries, fine dining, a lively arts scene, two annual food-themed festivals, a literary festival, and a busy year-round schedule of community events.
