This ranch style house is not just a home, it’s SECURITY for now and into the future, whatever it may hold. It’s a safe haven for you, your children, your family. The construction of the home is heavy duty. The main part of the home is built with cement block, with 2x4 insulated walls inside the block, and a FULL NATURAL STONE (not veneer) & redwood accented exterior.
In West Virginia, hallways & bathrooms are not considered in total square footage of the home. For your information, there are 2 full bathrooms in the home. The smaller one is 8’4” x 8’4” (approximately 69 sq. ft.)The larger bathroom, which was totally gutted and remodeled, with final completion in March 2024, is 12’2” x11’ (approximately 132 square feet.) The hall is approximately 3’ x 28’. In addition, there is a full basement under the sunroom for additional storage. It’s a spacious 20’6” x 25’ (more than 500 sq. ft.) There are two pantry sized cabinets (2’ x 2’1” x 7’) which flank a 4’ 6“ x 2’5” x 7’ closet with additional shelving. There is also nearly 24 feet of floor to ceiling cabinetry along an entire wall. The basement provides ample space for emergency supplies & food preserved for long term storage. Every window & door in the home is outfitted with nearly indestructible security shutters, the kind you may have seen on banks or liquor stores.

There is a 1,000 gallon buried propane tank - which you will own - that provides gas for a 20kw Generac Stand-by Generator capable of providing power for the entire home in the event of an extended power outage. Though the home is serviced by city water, there’s a fresh water well on the property. The water was tested & found to be of better quality than city water. It’s been used for watering the garden & outdoor plants, washing cars, porches and anything else for which water is required. It’s been plumbed into the home for use inside should it be necessary or desired. The homeowners had a huge successful 2500 sq. ft. garden area for many years, during which time they amended the soil every year with mushroom manure, and later with organic compost from Elliot’s Garden Center in Boardman. A garden enables one to grow and preserve food for now and for the future. The nearly 13 acres of property is free of pesticides, herbicides, glyphosate or other toxic lawn chemicals (none of which have ever been used by the owners.) Therefore, it’s perfect for raising a cow or two, goats for milking or other livestock, their daughter owned 2 horses. The “barn” is currently being used to store fire wood for the 2 wood burners in the home, but it can easily be converted back to use for livestock. In the living room, there’s a HEARTHSTONE CLYDESDALE airtight fireplace insert with a beautiful glossy brown enameled majolica finish, providing up to 75,000 BTUs to heat up to 2000 sq.ft. In the sunroom, there’s a free-standing Consolidated Dutchwest SEQUOIA high gloss black enameled wood burning stove with a heating capacity of 10,000-14,000 cubic feet. Geothermal provides comfortable heating and cooling year round.
