Description

• HISTORY:
The home was built by a Dr. Howard, who was reported to have treated patients in the basement. The previous owners maintained the longest residency of the home, owning it for fifty years. High school sweethearts that lunched on the sidewalk in front of the home, ”Mr. Nick” made good on his promise to buy the home for “Miss Amy,” the love of his life.• ARCHITECTURE:
This Colonial revival features a center hall with brass chandelier that separates the living room with beamed ceiling, marble fireplace, built-in bookshelves, and door to columned veranda from the dining room with beamed ceiling, crystal chandelier, and French doors that open to another columned veranda for easy flow of indoor/outdoor entertaining. The kitchen has been rebuilt and remodeled with semi-custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances. The pantry contains an additional stove, refrigerator, and bar sink.

The master bedroom has a brass chandelier and fireplace and stretches from front to back of the second floor of the home. A walk-in closet and small bathroom with handicap accessible shower and single vanity are situated at the rear of the suite. An adjacent sitting room with built in cupboards on the front wall would make a great master bedroom closet, allowing for the enlargement of the master bath combined with closet. Two guest bedrooms on this floor have crystal chandeliers and share a completely (gutted) remodeled bathroom with high end finishes, including marble flooring, custom cabinetry, granite vanity, tub and tiled shower, and oversized chandelier. The smaller bedroom also has a fireplace.

The third floor was originally designed to be servant quarters with bath, central living area and bedroom (each with a crystal chandelier), but the landing and both rooms have closets (could be 2 bdrms) with additional storage in the eaves. The walls have been replastered and freshly painted and carpeting has been removed. Bathroom on this floor has had fixtures, tile, wallpaper removed; the tub remains. Basement has 9’ ceilings and walk-out exit. Boiler and gas heat the home. Updates: 2018: electric panel box, other electrical updates; drain line and water lines replaced three floors; 2019: guest bath gutted, remodeled; shingle roof replaced slate; 2024: kitchen remodeled.

• LOCAL ATTRACTIONS: In north central West Virginia, the home is centrally located in Fairmont with historic Fairmont Senior High School in view from the front lawn. Situated within ready walking distance to Fairmont State University, the house is also 18 miles to West Virginia University. Known as the “Friendly City,” Fairmont has a waterfront park with fishing and boat docks, and hosts summer concerts and other events. The community celebrates a couple substantial festivals and has been adding events annually. With easy access to the I-79 Connector, local airports in Morgantown (18mi north) and Clarksburg (15mi south) connect at Dulles International and an expanding number of airports. Less than 2 hrs to Pittsburgh and within 2 hrs of the New River Gorge, one of the newest national parks, with whitewater rafting and other adventure activities, Fairmont has comfortable distance, but easy access to university culture, metropolitan life, and numerous state parks with 3 ski resorts, endless hiking, waterfalls, fishing, and camping opportunities available.
