Charming 1893 Victorian in the Historic District of Hedgesville, WV
Step into a piece of local history with this lovingly restored 1893 Victorian home, built by renowned craftsman George Apple. Known to locals as the "Blizzard Home" or "Lyle Catlett Home," this residence is a true treasure in the heart of Hedgesville's Historic District. Apple, who also built several other homes in town as well as the Hedgesville Presbyterian Church, left a legacy of craftsmanship that’s still evident throughout the house.
Featuring 11 rooms, including 3+ bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms (with a convenient half bath but no tub), this home combines Victorian charm with modern upgrades. The property boasts four covered porches, perfect for enjoying the scenic surroundings and local history. The exterior is mostly maintenance-free vinyl siding, with new half-round gutters recently installed along the back of the house.
The spacious kitchen is currently being fully renovated with brand-new cabinets, waiting for a buyer’s personal touch with countertops, backsplash, flooring, and appliances of their choice. The dining room offers a unique feature with a staircase leading to the second level, while the front sitting room highlights a beautiful fireplace and two original, floor-to-ceiling windows. The living room impresses with three bay windows, filling the space with natural light.
Additional highlights include:
• Hardwood floors throughout
• Modern windows for energy efficiency
• Radiator heat, serviced recently with an oil-burning furnace
• A good well and public water availability (line installed last year)
• An old side outbuilding (smokehouse) that would make an excellent workshop or storage area
• Huge attic space and a 3-bay, two-story garage built in the 1950s, offering tons of storage
The property may also have potential for light commercial use (such as offices) with town council approval.
Offered as For Sale by Owner, this home is a unique opportunity for the right buyer to save realtor commission costs and invest that money into your new home instead!
