A rare opportunity in the heart of Thomas, West Virginia, this solid 1940s-era brick building—formerly the American Legion—is the newest and most substantial structure on the block, thoughtfully upgraded and brimming with potential. Designed for versatility, this two-story property easily adapts to a wide range of uses: a restaurant or storefront with additional retail or studio space upstairs, a live/work setup with a business on the first floor and private residence above, a full private residence, or an income-producing short- or long-term rental. The first floor features an expansive open living and dining area that can also accommodate sleeping space, anchored by a chef’s kitchen well-suited for entertaining or commercial use. (Industrial kitchen equipment is negotiable.) Upstairs, you’ll find a comfortable two-bedroom apartment with an updated kitchen, along with access to a private courtyard and the convenience of off-street parking. Located on charming Front Street, you’re just steps from Thomas’s vibrant arts and culture scene—galleries, restaurants, a bakery, coffee shop, and an eclectic live music venue are all within strolling distance. Nearby Davis and the four-season resort community of Canaan Valley expand your backyard into an outdoor enthusiast’s paradise, offering Timberline Mountain, Canaan Valley Ski Resort, and the world-famous White Grass cross-country ski center. Enjoy year-round adventure with endless biking and hiking trails, two state parks, a wildlife refuge, and a nature preserve—all while savoring the character and creativity of small-town mountain living. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, investor, or someone dreaming of a flexible lifestyle property, this one-of-a-kind building delivers location, durability, and limitless potential.
