705 Main Street, Pennsboro, WV, is a turn-of-the-century American Foursquare home full of charm, character, and opportunity—perfect for restoration enthusiasts looking to bring a historic property back to life. Built around the early 1900s, this 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home blends American Foursquare architecture with Queen Anne and Craftsman elements, including a striking two-story bay-style window tower that defines the front of the house.
