Description
Hominy Hill - Spacious 5-bedroom, 4.5-bath home in professionally landscaped, estate-like on a 1+/- acre setting with spectacular mountain views and two guest cottages.
This impressive white stucco home, once the residence of West Virginia Governor Hulett C. Smith, can handle large gatherings and entertaining with ease, and offers panoramic sunrise views through multiple picture windows and on its covered back porch and terrace. Less than two minutes from downtown Lewisburg, the home combines the convenience of proximity to town with the advantage of a tranquil country setting. The arbor-like entryway opens to a vestibule with a tile floor and coat closet. Just beyond the entry, the grand living room has hardwood flooring, a fireplace with a decorative white mantel and a tile hearth, built-in cabinetry, recessed lighting, and picture windows affording mountain views.
The kitchen features white cabinetry, blue tile counters, and a matching two-level island with a prep sink, a wrought iron pot rack, and seating for four for snacks and light meals. The primary counter incorporates a triple stainless-steel sink with a disposal. Appliances include a Whirlpool side-by-side refrigerator-freezer, a GE wall oven, a Whirlpool countertop range with a hooded vent, a Bosch dishwasher and a Whirlpool trash compactor. The pantry has convenient sliding drawers.
The carpeted sunroom features built-in cabinetry for a home entertainment system, and multiple east-facing picture windows. The sunroom opens to a covered porch and, just below it, a brick terrace.
Three of the home's five bedroom suites are on the main level, and the fourth is in the home's only upstairs section, above the primary bedroom. All the bedroom suites are generous in size. The primary suite has a gas fireplace, an exposed rafter ceiling, louvered shutters, two closets, and glass doors opening to a private brick patio. The primary bath features an eye-catching soaking tub, a tiled shower, a double vanity with a tiled counter and two porcelain sinks, a large mirror, and a linen closet.
The upstairs bedroom suite is carpeted and the bath has a shower-tub.
The other bedroom suites are located on the far side of the living room. Both are corner rooms with high ceilings, hardwood flooring, and tiled bathrooms. One bath has a walk-in shower, and the other has a shower-tub.
The laundry nook is located on the hallway that leads to the attached double garage, and it is concealed behind louvered doors. The laundry is equipped with a Speed Queen washer and a Whirlpool dryer.
There's also a bonus room, accessed from this end of the home. This room is substantial in size and it has ceramic tile flooring. It could readily function as a home office, a playroom, a music room or a craft area.
Brick walkways meander through the yard to two guest cottages. Both have living rooms, equipped kitchenettes and private baths. One cottage features a covered front porch, while the other has a large back deck with an impressive mountain view.
This is an exceptional property with many eye-catching features. It offers plenty of room for a family to spread out, and the natura flow of the living room, sunroom, porch and terrace create a natural place for entertaining. The location is ideal, blending privacy with the convenience of being able to scoot right up Washington Street into the heart of town.
The location is near Carnegie Hall, the Greenbrier Valley Theatre, the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine, New River Community and Technical College and the Greenbrier County Library. It's less than two minutes from fine dining, boutique shopping, galleries and the community's lively arts scene. Annual local events include Taste of Our Towns, the Lewisburg Chocolate Festival, the Lewisburg Literary Festival and the ever-popular State Fair of West Virginia.
The Greenbrier, eight miles away in White Sulphur Springs, is one of the world's top luxury resorts. This historic hotel's offerings include multiple golf courses, a spa, a tennis complex, a casino, 50+ boutique shops and a dozen restaurants.
The Greenbrier River, only 10 minutes away, draws anglers and kayakers, and the 75-mile Greenbrier River Trail that follows the path of the river is popular with hikers, bicyclists and equestrians. Snowshoe Ski Resort, a scenic 90-minute drive to the north, is the largest ski complex in the Mid-Atlantic States, with golfing and an extensive system of mountain biking trails available in the off-seasons.
