222 Valley St SE Wise, VA 24293

An exceptional Mid-Century Modern Split, with much natural light and an open design with lofty ceilings. This house was originally designed by Architect Charles McElroy from the inspiration of Frank Lloyd Wright and was built by Engineer Charles Harris for the Harris family. Located on 3+ fenced acres in town within walking distance to Main Street and the Wise County Court House. The back-boundary frontage on Varner St. could offer further development opportunities. The current owner purchased 15 years ago directly from Harris family and has completely updated the residence from top to bottom during that time, while maintaining the integrity of the original architectural design. There are three bedrooms and four baths on the main floor, including a large master suite. The lower level includes the 4th bedroom/family room combination and bath, with separate outside entrance, which is perfect for teens, in-laws or as a guest suite. There is a lower level utility room, and heat pump and ductless inverter units provide zoned heating/cooling throughout, with some redundant original electric heating, plus two fireplaces. One brick fireplace has a wood stove insert and the 2nd brick fireplace is gas, although not currently hooked up. The brick used in building these was originally salvaged from local coke ovens. Most floors are tile, with some hardwood. All interior finishes, wall papers, lighting fixtures and cabinetry are designer grade. The eat-in kitchen, with stainless Jenn-Air appliances & quartz countertops, has been completely remodeled, and the metal roof with guttering was added approximately 10 years ago. An attic with easy access from the kitchen provides additional storage. A large animal kennel with oversized dog houses, a potting shed, koi pond and lush perennial plantings for 3-season flowering are just many of the extras available with this unique home.
