Southern Pride. A vintage iconic Southern architectural style 5 BR, 4 bath house located in downtown White Sulphur Springs. Spacious rooms; gracious, curved wrap around porches; large windows; tall ceilings; hardwood floors; a grand staircase- the house has retained its character thru the transition of time. Current owners began renovations and made significant updates including new AC units, security system, hot water heater, an outside electrical charging station and more. With a total of 23 rooms and 4 kitchens (once an apartment complex, interior design studio, hospital), the house is ready for an owner with vision. Currently, the house is used as a family residence with one apartment rental. Nice back balconies with entrances, good parking. Commercial, residential, multifamily, AirBB. Beautiful maple trees on the lawn of 447 Main Street set the stage for this property as you enter White Sulphur Springs, the town known for The Greenbrier Resort. Architecturally, the house exemplifies Southern style architecture known for function and formality. The raised foundation; round columns; wide, deep wrap around porch; sweeping roof style; high ceilings; open parlors, and central hall providing good cross ventilation- all indicate the architectural style. The history of the house, built ~1890, is colorful- once the Wyatt hospital (1916); a prominent residence; an interior design studio; an apartment complex; and now, a beautiful residence, ready for cosmetic restoration. Fortunately, the house has been loved and cared for thru the years and always a classic home in the resort town. For the current floor plans see Document tab.
Currently, if the house is to remain a residence, the house needs a kitchen, floors refinished (old carpet was removed and original hardwood floors are worthy of refinishing), and a few layout changes. Positively, the remaining layout is exceptional in providing options for future use, ie multigenerational living, vacation or short-term rental, additional apartment income, office space, a spa, or retail venture.
The property is located a short walking distance to The Greenbrier Resort and to downtown restaurants, parks, Howards Creek, and retail shops.
