About This Home

As of May 2025

Welcome home to this lovely craftsman cottage in picturesque and historic Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. Enjoy your morning coffee or evening beverage sitting on the front porch, accompanied by the sounds of singing birds and rustling leaves. Inside you will find original hardwood floors but updated kitchen and baths. The living room features a striking stone fireplace. With the seasons changing you can cozy up here with a good book or for a quiet nap. The hardwood floors extend into the well-sized dining room. The kitchen features a classic tile floor and updated appliances and maximizes the space with ample cabinetry and counters. Off the kitchen is a bright mudroom which leads to the fenced rear yard. Plenty of room out there for gardening or play. On the main level you will also find two bedrooms and a full bath. The upper level maximizes the space in the home with the third bedroom and second full bath with shower. Here you will also find built-in shelving and closet and storage space. The basement provides plenty of room for storage or a workshop or craft space. You will also find the laundry here. All this within walking distance of the National Historical Park, Appalachian Trail, MARC Train Station and even the C&O Canal Path. This is why we call it Almost Heaven.
