Known in Hagerstown history annals as the West River School, this wonderful county home was built about 1912 and was converted to a single family home in the mid 1940's. Although much has changed, the history and character are still there. The home is situated 3.5 acres at the corner of Lacy and Charles Road; a little less than half of the land is leased to the adjoining farm. When the school was converted to a home, a second level was built inside the voluminous structure. In face, a peek inside of the attic will give a clue as to the past: a ledger board around the perimeter of the attic show the height of the original ceiling. Also the attic hols tons of potential for a second bath, more finished 2nd story space as well as storage and higher ceilings. The large country kitchen, cozy living room, studio space for scrapbooking, quilting, sewing or painting is just off the kitchen. Many of the floors are original hardwood. Some of the windows have been replace. There is no interior access to the attached one-car garage. A second detached garage (18x24) is behind the house and currently used as a workshop; there is a garage door. The 8x10 shed also stays. An asparagus patch is out back; many perennials can be found, peaceful country views and the home is surrounded on three side by farm fields. The property is extremely well cared for and ready for a new family. The utilities are very low; the partial basement is used for storage. The home is located out in the northwest Wayne county and conveniently located within 30 minutes if 5 Wal-Marts! The interstate is just 9 minutes away; the high school 6 minutes away.
