Property Description
If you're craving a farmette lifestyle without giving up city conveniences, 177 Elsie Drive in Kearneysville, WV offers the best of both worlds. Just minutes from I-81, shopping, and dining, this 6.47-acre historic retreat is perfectly situated for commuters heading to Northern Virginia, Maryland, or D.C.—yet it feels a world away. Tucked within a well-kept neighborhood of maintained homes, the property is both private and connected, offering a rare blend of rural charm and modern access. Property does have Opequon Creek frontage with opportunity to be developed/improved for easier access.
This enchanting four-bedroom, two-bath homestead dates back to the 1780s, with hand-hewn logs and bricks crafted onsite, and thoughtful additions that respect its architectural legacy. Listed on the National Historic Register, the home features original fireplaces, wide-plank floors, exposed beams, and custom stonework—plus modern upgrades like a standing seam metal roof and updated systems including two Lennox heat pumps. The gourmet kitchen is a true showstopper with a 6-burner Viking gas range, double ovens, farmhouse sink, oversized island, and cozy built-in seating.
Outside, enjoy open meadows, hay fields, raised garden beds, mature trees, and lush landscaping. A well-built chicken coop, detached two-car garage, storage sheds, and brick walkways complete the farmette dream. With agricultural/commercial zoning and a 50% property tax discount, there’s room to live sustainably or launch a small business.
The property also includes access to a shared 5-acre community lot with a pavilion, picnic area, and creek access for kayaking or tubing—adding a recreational bonus to the lifestyle.
