38 Old Furnace Rd, Harpers Ferry, WV 25425

This beautiful, stone-accented home is approximately 19 years old, and was found to be an above average quality home for its age according to the inspection report we commissioned when we bought it in 2021. The inspection report also found that “The construction of the home is considered to be good quality. The materials and workmanship, where visible, are above average. The wood frame exterior walls of the home appear to be of 2 x 6 construction. This exceeds common practice and typically provides for extra exterior wall insulation. The building exhibits no evidence of substantial structural movement.” (inspection report available upon request.)
