3093 Old Leetown PikeRanson, WV 25438Price: $575,000

Set on 1.06 acres just outside downtown Charles Town and Ranson, this 4-bedroom, 3-bath ranch-style home offers one-level living with a practical, low-overhead setup that is increasingly hard to find. A paid-off solar array (with $6/mo electric bill), 2-year-old high-efficiency HVAC system, private well, whole-house water treatment with reverse osmosis drinking water, and space for gardening and chickens support a more self-directed lifestyle without sacrificing convenience. The main level includes hardwood and ceramic tile flooring, a bright living room with bow window, formal dining room, kitchen with garden window, spacious primary suite with walk-in closet, soaking tub, separate shower, and private Trex deck, plus a second bedroom, or "princess suite," with its own bath. Two additional bedrooms share a third full bath. Outdoor features include a circular drive, attached 2-car garage with dog wash station, fenced pet yard, patio and garden terrace with retractable awning, and storage shed with potting area. The finished basement adds valuable overflow space with tile flooring, a free-standing wood stove, custom wet bar, and a large storage and laundry room with built-in cabinets. All of this is just minutes from the shops, dining, and everyday conveniences of Charles Town and Ranson, offering an increasingly rare balance of accessibility and room to live more intentionally.
