Are you searching for a charming, older home in historic Parrottsville? This custom-built house, crafted by James Kenyon for Croft Barger in 1938, has stood the test of time. Croft raised his family here, many of whom still reside in the area. The interior walls, made from sawmill 2x4s, have proven incredibly durable and are likely to outlast modern homes. One fireplace has been converted for wood burning, while another remains available for coal. The original wood floors and trim are in excellent condition, having been refinished beautifully. The large kitchen boasts brand-new custom cabinets with Dekton counters, a 36'' Zline gas stove, and a new dishwasher. Two large, triple-pane Anderson windows at the end of the kitchen offer stunning views of the woods. You can step out onto the porch directly from the kitchen to enjoy your morning coffee surrounded by trees. Downstairs is 1 of 3 bedrooms and a bathroom which is roomy and includes a washer/dryer hookup. Upstairs, you'll find two large bedrooms with generous closets, one cedar-lined, and a bathroom with a walk-in shower and towel heater. A walk-in attic is also accessible on the second floor, along with the standard attic access above.The basement, with its 10' ceilings, has a professionally installed moisture barrier and a sump pump. A buried French drain along the front of the house helps redirect rainwater effectively.Outside, the home offers three porches to suit any time of day: a front porch with a swing, a side porch ideal for another swing, and a back porch where you can unwind in the evening, listening to the creek as it flows over the rocks.Behind the house lies approximately 21.3 acres, featuring two creeks that converge nearby. A bridge provides easy access to the area beyond.
