Step inside one of Sutton, West Virginia’s most iconic and versatile historic buildings—originally constructed in 1900 using rare American Chestnut wood, a material no longer available in modern construction.
This expansive mixed-use commercial and residential property combines immediate rental income, an established retail destination, and endless expansion potential—all under one roof in a walkable downtown location near regional tourism traffic.
With soaring 14-foot ceilings, original pressed tin detailing, wide historic staircases, and flexible floorplans, this property is more than real estate—it is a fully developed live/work/income ecosystem.
