Property Description
Welcome to The Tanyard House, Step Back in Time with Modern Comfort.
Steeped in nearly three centuries of history, The Tanyard House is one of Gerrardstown's most treasured landmarks, built circa 1740 of hand-laid stone and timber and featured on the House & Garden Tour for its unmatched charm and craftsmanship. Once part of the village's early leather-working commerce that inspired its name, this home is a rare living piece of West Virginia history.
Inside, the past meets the present in unforgettable ways:
Three wood-burning fireplaces and exposed chestnut beams create a warm, authentic atmosphere.
A clawfoot soaking tub, rich woodwork, and a walk-in kitchen hearth speak to the home's 18th-century origins, while thoughtful updates ensure ease of living.
2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and a detached building with a laundry room provide both cozy comfort and practical space.
Modern upgrades bring peace of mind without compromising character such as, new furnace and central AC installed within the last five years, new hot water heater (2022) and new roof (2024).
Outdoors, a meandering creek wraps around the property, offering serene views and a natural soundtrack. Although flood insurance is required, the property has never flooded in 25 years of ownership, making it a secure and scenic haven. The concrete retaining wall faced with brick adds lasting value.
Whether envisioned as a private retreat, artist's hideaway, or boutique AirBnB, The Tanyard House is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to own a genuine slice of West Virginia history, where 18th-century craftsmanship and 21st-century comfort meet in perfect harmony.
