This cute cottage even comes with the picket fence! Conveniently located near the downtown area of Weirton but just down the hill from the Three Springs shopping centers, this 3 BR 1 BA home is all on one floor. There's a porch to sit on while enjoying the sound of the creek in front. The sellers have just added all new flooring & paint within the past year, and it has a newer roof, hot water heater, and furnace.
