About this home
Historic Downtown Colonial — Space, Charm & Investment Potential in Romney
Step into timeless appeal at 287 E Main Street, a classic old-school Colonial set in the very heart of downtown Romney. Offering over 3,000 square feet, four bedrooms, and two full baths, this substantial residence blends historic character with meaningful upgrades—creating a property that is as functional as it is captivating. The original part of the house has been dated as far back as 1845 and possibly even earlier to the period during the Civil War. A lot of research has solid proof that the town of Romney changed hands in the front yard during the Civil War multiple times.
From the moment you arrive, the curb appeal is undeniable. The home sits proudly on a beautiful in-town lot adjacent to the new community park. It is framed by mature surroundings and the architectural presence that only true period homes possess. Inside, you’ll find generous room sizes with high ceilings and the warmth of a residence that has stood the test of time while remaining structurally sound and thoughtfully improved.
The country kitchen anchors daily living, while multiple living spaces allow for entertaining, remote work, or large-family flexibility. Whether you’re envisioning a refined primary residence, multigenerational living, or a high-character short-term rental, the scale and layout provide exceptional versatility.
In the spacious and level backyard, a detached workshop adds valuable bonus space—perfect for hobbies, storage, creative projects, or conversion ideas that investors will immediately recognize.
Location elevates everything. Situated just steps from downtown amenities and close to the renowned West Virginia Schools for the Deaf and Blind, this address places you squarely in the civic and cultural core of the county seat—walkable, visible, and endlessly convenient.
This property could be considered ideal for the single professional wanting space and architectural gravitas, a large or growing family needing room to spread out, or an investor seeking a distinctive Airbnb or short-term rental opportunity in a historic Appalachian town.
Classic homes of this size and pedigree—right on Main Street in downtown Romney—are rarely available. If you’re searching for charm, square footage, location, and upside, 287 E Main Street delivers on every front.
Schedule your private showing today and experience one of Romney’s most compelling in-town residences.
