Description

On a prominent corner at Washington & Gilbert, this historic 2 story property—formerly the Canal House—offers historic charm and exceptional flexibility in the heart of Bolivar/Harpers Ferry, WV. With high visibility, ample parking, walkability, and endless potential, it’s ideal for live/work, residential, boutique Airbnb/short-term rental, retail, or food and beverage use (buyer to verify approvals). The main building showcases inviting porches, spacious rooms, wood floors, and architectural character throughout. A detached 1BR/1BA cottage provides an excellent opportunity for an owner’s suite, guest space, or additional rental income. Corner lot allows for outdoor dining or garden areas. Just steps from Harpers Ferry National Historical Park, trails, rivers, shops, and the MARC train to DC. A rare opportunity to combine history, location, and income potential. Buyer to verify zoning, parking, commercial potential and STR licensing with the Town of Bolivar/Jefferson County.
