The Fitz, 909 West King St., Martinsburg, WV, is a Georgian Revival brick home, built in 1925, located in the Boom Town Historic District of Martinsburg, WV, and is half a mile from the Town Square. The single family home is built of locally sourced brick with pedimented dormers and features Chinese Chippendale balustrade atop the front porch and a classical entry with side lights and an elliptical fanlight over the front door. The port cochere, attached to the west of the house, is an open arbor on square brick columns. Additionally, the roof timbers are decoratively treated with shaped ends. The Fitz sits on a 0.52 acre lot of mature trees and a fenced backyard. The home has a spacious living room with a fireplace, a formal dining room with a decorative ceiling, a built-in, glass-fronted china hutch, a newly remodeled kitchen whose updating preserved the original blue and white tiled floor with a compass pattern, a roomy family room, five large bedrooms, and three and a half baths, all with original hardwood or ceramic tile floors, totaling 3,477 square feet of living space. The wide main staircase encompasses a midway landing that features four beautiful vertical stained glass windows. The first and second floors and the back yard will be shown.
The Fitz was purchased by its current owner in March 2025, and they are making extensive updates, repairs, and restoration to preserve the original beauty of the home while providing modern amenities.
