185 E Birch Lane

There are houses that hold memories, and then there are the ones that shape them. This home is one of those rare places. I grew up here, and even now, every time I walk through the front door, Im reminded why homes built in this era still matter. They were built with care, made to last, and designed for everyday living. Set in the heart of Romney, the home sits just across from the West Virginia Schools for the Deaf and the Blind. The campus stretches wide and openacres of green lawns, shade trees, and historic brick buildings that have watched over generations of students. Its one of the most peaceful and recognizable settings in town. From the porch, you can see the landscape change with the seasons and feel the calm that seems to settle over the neighborhood. Inside, the home has an easy, natural flowhardwood floors, arched transitions, and rooms filled with soft morning light. Its simple in the best way: three bedrooms, one bath, a spacious kitchen, and a full basement that has stored decades of projects, memories, and laughter. Theres nothing flashy about it, and thats part of its appeal. Outside, the corner lot offers a generous yard framed by mature trees, perfect for gardening, gathering, or just enjoying the day. Everything about this home feels honestthe craftsmanship, the setting, the way its woven into the fabric of Romney itself. Homes like this dont just represent square footage or style. They represent a time when things were built with purpose and families stayed put long enough to really know their neighbors. Its a place that feels like West Virginiawelcoming, grounded, and full of heart.
