Unique 3-level home with many exceptional handcrafted touches, nestled in majestic 14.21-acre wooded setting in southern Pocahontas County. Built in 1988 and formerly the home of a Cirkut Panoramic Images photographer, this one-of-a-kind property redefines tranquility and privacy. Configured as a one-bedroom, 1.5-bath home with a loft-style bedroom, the home has a spacious walkout lower level formerly a photography studio/darkroom that could be readily converted into a second bedroom with full bath. A detached 2-bay garage and workshop are nearby.
A paved driveway winds through the wooded property to the picturesque home, with cedar siding, a silver metal roof and a large yard with attractive landscaping. A brick sidewalk and stone steps lead to the covered front porch.

The main level includes open living, kitchen and dining areas, a full bath and an elevated covered porch. Oak flooring is used throughout the main level. The living room features a high ceiling with interesting eye-catching angles, and attractive built-in cabinets and bookshelves. A classic Norwegian Jtul woodstove set on a slate hearth warms the living space.
The adjacent kitchen has handcrafted cabinetry, laminate counters with a double stainless-steel sink, and recessed lighting. Appliances include a Whirlpool gas range (propane) with a hooded vent and a Kenmore refrigerator-freezer. The kitchen opens directly to the covered porch with beautiful wooded views.
The full bath on the main level features recessed lighting, handcrafted cabinetry, a shower-tub and a pedestal sink.
Winding stairs lead to the upstairs loft bedroom, with a cedar closet, half-bath, and a laundry cubby with a stackable washer and dryer. The gorgeous bedroom flooring is cherry, while the bathroom and laundry have maple flooring.
The finished lower level has the same spacious footprint as the main level, with oak flooring throughout. Currently designed to accommodate the late owner's photography business and darkroom, the space can be easily converted to serve other uses. This level opens to a covered brick patio directly below the upstairs porch.
A few steps from the home, the double garage has a sizeable attached workshop plus a covered open-air workspace.
The mature mixed hardwood forest surrounding the home borders on two paved roads. There are many trees of impressive size. The location is quiet, serene and semi-remote, without any neighboring homes in sight. The town of Hillsboro is 10 minutes away, and there is an historic covered bridge en route. Marlinton, the Pocahontas County seat, is a 20-minute drive. More shopping, services and entertainment are available in Lewisburg, 45 minutes to the south on U.S. 219. Head north on the same highway for an hour and you'll arrive at Snowshoe, the largest ski resort in the Mid-Atlantic region. Snowshoe offers extensive skiing and snowboarding trails, multiple dining options, and golf and mountain biking in the off-seasons.
A truly unique property with many exceptional features, this home offers comfort, privacy and the opportunity to live with nature on your doorstep.
