A driveway entry with a picturesque 10x12 brick outbuilding leads to the 3-level home with white aluminum siding and a shingled roof. The main entry opens to a tiled foyer with a coat closet, and a secondary entry has a ramp providing handicapped access. The foyer leads to the den and adjacent living room. Both of these family gathering rooms feature gas fireplaces, attractive built-in cabinetry and the century-old home's original hardwood flooring. The living room opens on the home's elevated front porch, which offers sweeping panoramic views. In addition to the den and living room, the main level includes the kitchen and breakfast nook, a formal dining room, a laundry area, two sizeable bedrooms and 1.5 baths. The kitchen has laminate countertops with a stainless steel sink and white cabinetry. Appliances include a Kenmore refrigerator, a GE Profile electric range, a dishwasher, and a Hamilton Beach microwave. The kitchen incorporates a sunny breakfast nook with attractive built-in cabinetry, and it has an exit to the back porch. The dining room is wallpapered, and has a chandelier and original oak flooring. The primary bedroom is a carpeted corner room with large windows facing south and east. The primary bath has a shower and a vanity with a laminate countertop and porcelain sink. Bedroom 2 is also a corner room, with stylish French doors opening to the back porch. The hallway entry to this bedroom has a half-bath with a pedestal sink, and a laundry nook with stackable Kenmore appliances. A sliding door near the primary bedroom opens to reveal a hidden stairway leading to a lower-level playroom/rec room, with linoleum flooring, a gas fireplace and a large storage closet under the stairs. The room's windows are embellished with diamond patterned mullions. A carpeted oak stairway leads to the home's three upper-level bedrooms and shared bath. With the exception of Bedroom 3, these spaces are tucked under sloping rooflines. Bedrooms 3 and 4 are similar in size and carpeted. Bedroom 3 includes a spacious walk-in closet. Bedroom 5 is considerably smaller, but could be repurposed as a reading or TV area, or space for a computer. The shared bath features an attractive clawfoot tub and a solid surface vanity. In addition to front and back porches, the home has a brick patio and an attached double carport. The front yard has stately evergreen trees and an ornamental crabapple, and overlooks a quiet lane and grassy pasture. A two-story board-and-batten, barn-style outbuilding adds a particularly eye-catching feature to the yard. This building is in need of rehabbing, but could be resurrected to serve as a workshop, studio or playhouse. The nearby barn, an easy stroll from the house, once housed a small dairy operation, and later served as storage and office space for Simmons Building Specialties, the family contracting business. The barn is two-level. The main level includes a large open space, a stall, two lofts, and offices. The lower level was devoted to farm animals. There is also a shed complex where equipment and supplies were kept. The property behind the barn is wooded with mixed hardwoods, and drops to Muddy Creek on its far edge. Alderson is a quiet West Virginia riverfront town with a seasonal farmer's market, a walking path along the river and a renowned Fourth of July celebration. The community is 20 minutes from the Greenbrier County seat of Lewisburg. Picturesque Lewisburg has shopping, fine dining and year-round entertainment.
