With a little work, river access is possible. The history of this home is just as special as its location. Built by John Farrow, brother of A.D. Farrow, whose historic Harley-Davidson dealership was founded in Nelsonville, the property has remained in the current owner's family for more than 50 years.

Two additional unfinished rooms are currently closed off from vacation-rental guests and could be renovated separately without disturbing the existing finished living space. The former original bathroom offers the opportunity to restore a second full bath, while the home's former kitchen--partially gutted after the new kitchen was added in 2016--was envisioned as a spacious first-floor primary bedroom filled with original character. Completing these areas could potentially transform the home into a 4- or even 5-bedroom, 2-bath property. Outside, enjoy a large side yard, riverfront setting and a new hot tub.
