3 Meadowcrest Drive, Parkersburg, WV

Built in 1953 and believed to be one of the first homes constructed in the prestigious Meadowcrest development, with architecture inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright, this home sits on 1.18 acres atop a gently rolling hillside...mature oaks, a long paved driveway, and wooded hills rolling out behind it. Seven decades later, it's still as impressive and pristine as the day it was built.From the street, notice the newer architectural shingle roof and a stacked-stone chimney anchoring the roofline, flanked by a wall of windows wrapping the front porch in light. That same wall of glass fills the main living room inside, framing the lawn and tree line like art that changes with the seasons. A black-trimmed marble fireplace and honey-toned hardwood floors carry the warmth throughout, while French doors, cedar-lined closets, and vintage color-tile bathrooms give the home character that can't be recreated new.The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated without losing its soul: custom cabinetry, granite counters with tiny flecks of sparkle, and stainless appliances wrap around a center island with bar seating, opening to a sunny breakfast nook with French doors out back. Two main-level primary suites offer private retreats, and...one of my favorite rooms — a wood-paneled office looks out over the mature trees, making working from home feel like a privilege.Outside, a sprawling back deck overlooks sloped, tree-lined grounds and the hills beyond, one of the most private settings in Meadowcrest. The large basement offers potential for whatever you need it to be. Main floor laundry plus basement hookups, an attached two-car garage, and a flexible floor plan suit multigenerational living, entertaining, or everyday comfort with room to spare.Homes like 3 Meadowcrest Drive are rare...the architecture and quality would be almost impossible to duplicate today, and this property has held onto its character for over 70 years. Walk beneath the trees, and prepare to find home.
