Description

705 Main Street, Pennsboro, WV, is a turn-of-the-century American Foursquare home full of charm, character, and opportunity—perfect for restoration enthusiasts looking to bring a historic property back to life. Built around the early 1900s, this 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home blends American Foursquare architecture with Queen Anne and Craftsman elements, including a striking two-story bay-style window tower that defines the front of the house. Inside, you'll find a beautiful wood staircase, a welcoming foyer with an old fireplace ready to be reopened, and a living room with large bay windows that mirror the front and bring in natural light. Fireplaces in both the foyer and living room share a central chimney, with natural gas available for future inserts. The main level includes a formal dining room, a full bathroom, and a kitchen with access to the back. Upstairs are four spacious bedrooms, each with unique character and plenty of potential, along with a full bathroom. Carpet covers much of the home, but hardwood floors remain underneath most areas, waiting to be restored. A newer furnace (3 years old) has been installed for comfort and reliability. The exterior is wrapped in distinctive Insulbric-style siding from the 1930s–40s, giving the home a brick-like appearance while preserving a historic aesthetic. A full-length front porch offers a quiet place to relax and enjoy the peaceful town of Pennsboro. This property spans three town lots, including the main house, an empty lot, and a lot with a large 3-stall garage—perfect for multiple vehicles, workshop space, or storage. Located within a 40-minute drive of Parkersburg and Clarksburg, 705 Main Street is ideally positioned for commuting while offering small-town living.
