Serenity on Elm - Attractive one-level cedar-sided home near downtown. 3-bedrooms, 4-baths, spacious screened porch and deck, large landscaped yard with two outbuildings. Originally constructed in 1950 and remodeled in 1989 and 2005, this comfortable home has a rustic-style exterior with a contemporary interior. Features include new flooring throughout, three roomy bedroom suites, a large porch and deck for relaxing and entertaining, and a nearly 1.2+/- acre yard. It enjoys a surprisingly private location near Lowes and the Gateway shopping complex.
Sitting on a low hill at the end of a quiet lane, the home feels like it's in the country, and the deer that frequent the yard seem to agree. A sidewalk leads to the shady covered front porch with stone flooring. The front entry opens into an L-shaped living room with birch flooring and a natural gas fireplace. The living room is adjacent to an impressive 12-x20 screened porch with a ceiling fan, and a large deck perfect for outdoor meals and entertaining.
The kitchen features hickory cabinetry, tile flooring and laminate counters with a double stainless-steel sink. The counters incorporate a lower one that can serve as a desk, or a handy eat-at counter. Appliances include a Kenmore gas range, a Kenmore refrigerator-freezer, and a Frigidaire dishwasher. The adjacent dining room has a chandelier, Chinese mahogany flooring, and a bay window overlooking the front yard.
A hallway leads to the home's three ensuite bedrooms. The primary bedroom includes an anteroom with a closet. With the simple addition of a door, this could be converted into a private dressing area. This spacious bedroom opens to a private deck with built-in seating. The primary bath has a shower, a marble vanity and a linen closet. Bedroom 2 has a ceiling fan and a bath with a shower-tub and a marble vanity. Bedroom 3 has a bath with a shower and a solid surface vanity. An additional hallway bath features an extra-deep jetted soaking tub. (Note: The jets currently need repair work.)
The laundry/mud room has hookups for appliances, which do not convey, and pull-down access to the home's attic. The laundry exits to a small deck and the yard.
There is a partial basement, which serves as a utility and storage area.
The sizeable yard has plenty of room for gardening, and play space for pets. There are two outbuildings for storing lawn and garden equipment.
This attractive home is close to downtown and the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine. Downtown Lewisburg offers fine dining, boutique shopping, galleries and a lively arts scene. Annual events include the State Fair of West Virginia, two food-themed festivals and a literary festival. The Greenbrier Valley Theatre offers year-round live performances, and performing artists appear onstage at Carnegie Hall and in outdoor summer concerts on the lawn. Both of these arts organizations have summer day camp programs for youth. The community is also home to a campus of New River Community and Technical College. Just above the college there is an attractive public library.
The Greenbrier, in nearby White Sulphur Springs, is one of the world's top luxury resorts. The hotel's offerings include multiple golf courses, a spa, a tennis complex, a casino, 50+ boutique shops and a dozen restaurants.
The nearby Greenbrier River draws anglers and kayakers, and the 75-mile Greenbrier River Trail is popular with hikers and bicyclists. Snowshoe Ski Resort, a scenic 90-minute drive to the north, is the largest ski complex in the Mid-Atlantic States, with golfing and an extensive system of mountain biking trails available in the off-seasons.
