    What's special

    This lovely cottage-style house in Morgantown’s First Ward neighborhood is a great first home or investment opportunity. The 9 foot-ceilings and a functional layout provide the feeling of open space; each room has beautiful natural light. The kitchen features new appliances and updated countertops while retaining the vintage hardware and hand-built cabinets. The shiplap-walled back room looks out onto an open porch and large, newly built deck that is wonderful for entertaining. Bedroom 1 is conveniently located on the first floor in a space that can also be used as a sitting room. Bedroom number 2 offers a cozy nook that looks out over the street, a space that can also function as a quiet office. There is a spacious storage area upstairs and a large closet for clothing. The house was first remodeled in 2017 and received an upgraded electric panel with 100 amp service. It was remodeled again in 2021-22 and features the following updates: new hardwood floors, fresh interior paint throughout, new exterior paint, a newly constructed deck with Trex planks, a new roof, a new water heater, all new windows, a new sewer line from house to city system, a completely landscaped yard and extended gravel off-street parking space. The home also has a detached one car garage with new metal roof. This home, filled with old-world charm, is located on a cul-de-sac and is steps away from White Park and a short walk to downtown and WVU’s campus.
