Welcome to The Happy Place—a lovingly restored and meticulously maintained midcentury woodland retreat in the sought-after Woods community of Hedgesville, WV. Located just under two hours from DC and Baltimore, this turn-key, fully updated property is the perfect full-time residence, weekend getaway, or highly successful short-term rental. Set among mature trees on a quiet cul-de-sac, this architecturally striking home features board-and-batten siding (2021) and a stunning A-frame glass wall that floods the main living space with natural light. Inside, enjoy the charm of a wood-burning, brick fireplace, and soaring ceilings that give the space a modern yet cozy feel. The screened-in porch feels like a treehouse sanctuary, perfect for morning coffee or unwinding after a hike while overlooking the treetops and a fully-fenced yard (2021) off the side of the house and within sight -- your dog's delight! The thoughtfully updated kitchen includes a KitchenAid induction range, 400-CFM exterior-vented stainless hood (2021), deep basin stainless sink (2022), new fridge (2021), and dishwasher. (2022) A dedicated dining space with modern lighting, spacious living area, and two bedrooms (one is the loft with walk-in closet and en suite bath) offer flexible living options. A bonus guest room/den with private entrance through the fully fenced yard (2021) adds privacy and convenience for guests or office use. The home also includes a conditioned 150 sq ft workshop/storage room with second refrigerator, and ample under-deck storage for outdoor gear. Extensive upgrades since 2021 include: new roof & gutters (50-year transferrable warranty); New HVAC system (2021) and 50-gallon water heater (2024); luxury vinyl plank flooring (2022); new carpet in loft (2024); updated bathrooms (2024) with tall (ADA) Toto toilets, designer vanities, and faucets; Titan 8500 generator + transfer switch (2024); new skylight (2024) and new stairs off rear deck (2024). This home has been lovingly maintained and proactively cared for, including a full home inspection (2024) with completed repairs, septic inspection/pumping (2024) and chimney cleaning & inspection (2024). Reports are available upon request. Optional B Membership to The Woods Club provides access to the gym and pools—membership is not mandatory. All HOA and governing documents are available and can be provided by your agent or at an open house. Currently owned and impeccably managed by an Airbnb Superhost with consistent 5-star rating, this home has been a Nextdoor Neighborhood Favorite three years running (2023–2025) and generates consistent rental income of $25K+ per year.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
