***REDUCED!!*** Nestled in the heart of Moorefield, just across from the Hardy County Courthouse, this 4-bedroom, 2-bath cottage-style home offers a perfect blend of small-town convenience and natural beauty. Set on one of the largest residential lots in town, this property is a gardener’s dream with an inviting backyard filled with mature fruit trees, including apple, peach, and pear, along with mulberry trees, grapevines, and blackberry bushes. The fertile soil has been carefully maintained, with three no-till garden beds already established, ready to nurture your green thumb ambitions. The entire backyard is fenced in for your fur babies, including a 12-foot drive-through gate for easy access to your workshop and two walk-through gates, offering privacy and peace of mind. Being situated on a double lot, this property also provides a unique opportunity for future expansion, with plenty of room to build a second home if desired.
For those with hobbies or home projects, the property boasts a variety of functional spaces, including a 14x40 insulated garage shed with electricity, heating, and air conditioning. A 22x26 workshop with a concrete floor, wood stove, and 100-amp service provides additional room for projects, while a smaller brick cellar offers added storage. The outdoor living spaces are equally charming, with a large Trax deck for stargazing, a cobblestone patio that could be perfect for a future hot tub, and a small covered deck, ideal for cozy evenings watching summer storms roll in.
Inside, the home combines farmhouse charm with modern updates. Enjoy a cozy spot next to the natural gas fireplace in the family room or cook your favorite meal in the country kitchen, featuring all-new stainless steel appliances, a deep single-basin sink, butcher block countertops, and farmhouse-style cabinetry. A cozy dining area is complete with built-in curio cabinets, adding warmth and character to the space. The main-floor master bedroom, with wall-to-wall sliding glass doors that overlook the lush backyard, offers a serene retreat. This room also includes a walk-in closet, an attached full bathroom, and an in-suite laundry area with a stacked washer and dryer, making it a versatile space that can also serve as a second living room.
Throughout the home, you’ll find thoughtful details that add comfort and efficiency. The floors are heated by an electric in-floor system, while two multi-zone mini-split systems provide efficient heating and cooling. The high-efficiency windows, new doors, installed in 2017, along with hardwood and tile flooring throughout most of the home (carpet in the master), reflect the care and quality of this cottage.
Located just minutes from all essential conveniences—grocery stores, gas stations, Walmart, and schools—this home truly captures the essence of small-town living with the added benefit of easy access to outdoor adventures. Blackwater Falls, Seneca Rocks, Canaan Valley Ski Resort, and Dolly Sods Wilderness are all about an hour away, making weekend getaways a breeze.
