Beckley Home With Separate Lower-Level Living Space Drops to Just $52,000
A versatile ranch-style home in Beckley, West Virginia, has received another major price reduction, bringing its current asking price down to just $52,000.
Located at 220 Ridgecrest Avenue, the home was built in 1968 and offers approximately 908 square feet of officially reported finished living space on a surprisingly large 0.39-acre lot.
The active MLS currently lists the property with two bedrooms and approximately one-and-a-half bathrooms, although the agent’s description also highlights additional finished space downstairs that includes another sleeping area, bathroom and small kitchenette.
At the newly reduced $52,000 asking price, the home works out to roughly $57 per reported square foot.
The latest price cut is especially dramatic.
The property was marketed for $111,000 in April 2026 before dropping to $88,000 in June and then $69,000 at the end of July.
It went pending in September, returned to the market shortly afterward, and then received another $17,000 reduction on October 6, bringing it to the current $52,000 price.
Compared with the April asking price, that represents a total reduction of $59,000.
Upstairs, the home features two large bedrooms and a full bathroom.
The kitchen includes painted cabinetry and countertops along with an eat-in dining area, creating a straightforward everyday layout.
Double doors at the front help bring natural light into the living space and open toward a newer patio.
The lower level is what makes this property particularly interesting.
According to the seller’s description, the downstairs area includes an additional room being used as a bedroom, a bathroom with a stand-up shower and a small kitchenette.
Even more importantly, this lower space has its own separate entrance.
That arrangement could be useful for a roommate, extended family member, guest space or someone who simply wants more privacy between different parts of the home.
Buyers should independently verify how the lower-level rooms are legally classified, since the MLS’s structured bedroom and bathroom counts do not perfectly match the written description.
A large laundry room is also located downstairs.
The listing highlights a newer HVAC system and newer hot-water heater, two potentially valuable improvements for buyers concerned about major mechanical expenses.
Outside, the approximately 0.39-acre lot provides considerably more outdoor room than the compact 908-square-foot interior might suggest.
The front yard is enclosed with chain-link fencing, while the newer patio creates space for outdoor seating, grilling or relaxing.
The home also features a metal roof according to current MLS syndication.
Public water and public sewer serve the property, and there is no garage listed.
Location could be another advantage.
The seller states that the property is approximately 1.8 miles from West Virginia University Institute of Technology, about 9.9 miles from New River Gorge National Park and roughly 15 miles from Winterplace Ski Resort.
For a buyer searching for a large luxury home, this property will not fit the bill.
But for someone looking for an inexpensive residence, investment property or home with flexible lower-level space, the latest price reduction makes 220 Ridgecrest Avenue difficult to overlook.
With two officially listed bedrooms, additional downstairs living space, a separate entrance, kitchenette, newer mechanical systems and nearly 0.4 acres, the property is now available for just $52,000.
