Built in 1930, this raised ranch on an unrestricted acre has been more than just a house—it has been a gathering place, a second home, and a quiet cornerstone of the Kearneysville community for generations. For decades, this was the home of Martha Bradley—known lovingly as Aunt Mart, Mrs. Martha, or Grandma to many—where neighborhood children were cared for and where family and friends gathered faithfully, often 20–50 strong, every Sunday. There is a warmth here that can’t be manufactured. It’s felt the moment you walk in. The main level offers two bedrooms and two full bathrooms, along with a large, inviting living and dining room combination anchored by a brick-front fireplace. Recently exposed original wood floors add authenticity and character you simply can’t recreate. The kitchen features a double-sided countertop opening to the dining area, with a pass-through sitting space that served as an easy breakfast nook and entertaining hub for years. The lower level expands the home’s flexibility with a spiral staircase leading to an additional den or living space, two additional rooms ideal for bedrooms, offices, or flex use, a laundry area, and interior access to the one-car garage with a rear entrance. A circular driveway provides ample parking and easy access to both the front and back of the home. Out back, a large deck has hosted decades of sun-soaked afternoons, cookouts, and quiet evenings. The property backs to U.S. Fish & Wildlife land, offering a rare sense of privacy and protection from future county growth—an increasingly valuable feature. This home is livable as-is and presents a meaningful opportunity for renovation and restoration. It’s a chance to steward a property with history, soul, and space—ready for its next chapter.
