The view is the first thing. This 1910 two-story sits elevated above Temple Street, and from that position it looks out over Hinton and the New River. That's not a generic amenity — it's a specific thing this house has and most houses around here don't. You'd look at that view from inside, from the yard, probably from bed.
The house itself is 1914 square feet across two floors, three bedrooms, two baths, and it's been remodeled. No system dates are listed, which would matter before closing, but the agent description avoids the usual as-is and investor-grade language, which suggests the work is real. Two fireplaces are in there, which in a house this old and this size feels right. A fenced backyard with a fire pit and an outdoor dining area means the entertaining space is already set up, not something you'd have to build toward.
It's currently running as a vacation rental. Hinton sits at the edge of the New River Gorge corridor, and the pull is real: kayaking and rafting access nearby, Sandstone Falls about nine miles out, Bluestone Dam five miles away, Winterplace Ski Resort nineteen miles. That's a four-season draw, and someone already figured out how to monetize it. You'd be buying the income stream along with the house, or you could stop renting it and just live there. Either works.
At $114,900, you're well below the area median, which sits closer to $207,000. That gap is wide enough to be worth examining. The market here is buyer-favorable right now, with nearly half of listings taking price cuts and homes selling around 90 percent of ask. Thirty days on market for this one, which is unremarkable either way.
A 115-year-old house in a small river town with two fireplaces and an active rental history, priced where it is, gives you options most properties at this price point don't. The views don't hurt.
