Under $75K Thursday – West Virginia Fixer Upper Second Empire $68K
January 26, 2023
OHU50K Notes $65,000
The fixer upper Second Empire sits almost at the top of the steep street and appears to be the earliest home on the block. Disregard the agent’s 1935 build date. Second Empires saw their heyday from 1855 to 1885. Although I couldn’t find the original owner of this home, in the 1910s most of the residents of this street worked for the electric power plant or foundry. I can picture the breadwinner trudging up the hill after a hard’s day of work and warming by one of the many fireplaces.
Calling all Investors! This 4 bedroom/2 bath home is located in the heart of Fairmont and within close proximity to Fairmont State University. Beautiful original woodwork, including built-in cabinets, fireplaces and staircase. Original hardwood floors under carpets. Could be purchased for a rental or a flip. Previous rental history. Being sold AS IS. All measurements are approximate. Taxes are class 4.

All of its historical beauty and originality has been gutted. What a shame.
