There are hardwood floors hiding under the carpet in every room of this house. That's not a small thing — it means the bones are intact, the character is there, and the work ahead is mostly cosmetic.
Built in 1934, this Cape Cod sits on half an acre in North Tazewell, Virginia, directly overlooking the Clinch River. The main level has a formal living room, dining room, and bedroom. Upstairs, two more bedrooms and a half bath. The family room has a gas log fireplace and a large bow window that frames the river behind the house — which means you're sitting by the fire looking at moving water. The covered front porch, the side deck where you can actually hear the river, the full basement with laundry and a one-car garage — it all holds together surprisingly well for a 90-year-old house.
The expensive stuff is already handled: newer roof, new siding, replaced windows. What's left is yours to choose — floors uncovered, walls painted, kitchen updated on your timeline.
At $132,500 for 1,795 square feet of riverside Cape Cod with good structure and period character, this is the kind of house that rewards someone willing to do the work. North Tazewell is a small town in Tazewell County in the heart of southwest Virginia — quiet, affordable, and largely off the radar of people hunting for exactly this kind of property.
Originally listed for $132,500, this property sold for $117,500 on September 1, 2026.
