Property 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.

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.
