c.1925 West Virginia Fixer Upper Foursquare $35K – In the Mothman Town
OHU50K Notes $35,000
Built in 1925, this West Virginia fixer upper Foursquare has a metal roof, front porch and all-brick construction. Too bad they painted the brick. Inside are some hardwood floors, spacious kitchen and the original staircase. The home is located in a town known for the Legend of Mothman. You may remember the Wildermuth Mansion we featured for sale in 2021 where the owners claimed to have seen Mothman flying over the house not once, but twice!
