About This Home
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. Whether you’re entertaining guests in the generous indoor spaces or savoring the quiet beauty of outdoor living, this home delivers on charm, functionality, and flexibility.
Historic, soulful, and set up for modern life, this is a rare chance to own a timeless piece of Jefferson County. Schedule your private tour and explore the possibilities.
