4 Chaweva Hts

A beautifully updated contemporary cabin tucked inside the private, gated community of Lake Chaweva in Cross Lanes, West Virginia, listed at $135,000. Built in 1980, the 756-square-foot home sits on 0.78 acres and pairs a renovated kitchen and bath with a composite-decked outdoor space, a spiral staircase to an unfinished basement, and an adjoining lot included in the sale.

The setting

The cabin sits inside the gated Lake Chaweva community, a private neighborhood built around its namesake lake, with the listing highlighting an adjoining lot included in the sale for extra privacy or future use.

The wooded 0.78-acre lot surrounds the cabin on a sloping hillside, with a dirt path winding through the trees below the deck.

The house

The 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom cabin is 756 square feet, built in 1980, with an updated kitchen and bathroom, hardwood-look flooring, and a modern angled roofline. The listing calls it a contemporary bungalow, and the renovation shows throughout.

The open living area centers on a striking orange cone fireplace, with comfortable seating and large windows looking out into the trees.

Upstairs, a spacious bonus room accessible through the bedroom offers additional versatility, with room to accommodate a full-size bed, per the listing.

A spiral staircase leads down to a large unfinished basement, complete with a laundry area and abundant storage space.

The outdoor space

The expansive deck and stairways were both updated with composite decking, creating an inviting outdoor space for relaxing or entertaining, including a hot tub set right into the deck.

The facts

What to know before you call

This is a small footprint with an outsized renovation: updated kitchen, bath, decking, and a hot tub, inside a private gated lake community rather than out on open land like most of what we’ve featured recently. The basement is unfinished, which is worth factoring in if you need more than the 756 square feet of finished living space upstairs.

This listing is brand new, at less than a day on market as of this writing, so there’s likely little room to negotiate yet and it could move fast. This is our first property in the Cross Lanes, West Virginia market. Anyone comparing it against other properties can see everything currently listed.
