Everyone who walks through the beautiful double front doors to this home says that "they immediately feel at home and at peace". This is a wonderful rare and beautiful historic home which has been featured in two magazines this year; Wonderful West Virginia and WV Living.
Built c. Civil War era and finished in the late 1880's, owned by one family for 135 years, put on the National Register of Historic homes in the 1980's, this Victorian brick home sits in the center of the Historic District in downtown Philippi.
Philippi is located in the picturesque Tygart Valley, the first valley west of the Allegheny Mountains in West Virginia and is steeped in history. The river as well as the 1852 Covered Bridge, still in use today, is just a block away.
Restaurants and shopping are within a block, as well as hiking and biking areas. This area has long been known for its natural beauty and rich heritage from trains to civil war and quaint small town communities. Charleston and Pittsburgh is a two hour drive, and Washington, D.C. less than five hours. A great place to raise a family, retire or as a vacation home.
The home has beautiful original hardwood floors, an ornate oak staircase, oak doors and woodwork and fret work. The home has been a bed and breakfast for the last four years. You can see more pictures and guests comments about the house at www.thecoveredbridgebandb.com.
In addition, a beautiful furnished Carriage House (once housed the family's horses and carriages) sits on the back of the property and can be used as a a mother-in-law house or rented to one of our many college students. Great added income.
