WELCOME to Red Bird Hill, a captivating residence boasting 4 bedrooms and 3 baths, nestled on 1.5 acres that includes an additional buildable lot. This enchanting abode perches atop a hill, surrounded by creeks and a seasonal waterfall, creating a truly magical setting. Believed to have been constructed in 1790 by a Tannery landowner, this farmhouse carries a rich history, complemented by period-sensitive renovations in 2023. Step into a vintage kitchen adorned with a restored Youngstown kitchen sink and mint green appliances, featuring a top-of-the-line Zline gas cooking stove for the discerning chef. The house showcases three fully restored, spacious bathrooms, each graced with vintage sinks. Original wide plank wood floors, shiplap walls, and an original pass-thru cabinet from the kitchen to the living room add to the timeless charm. The interior boasts beamed ceilings, two gas fireplaces, and a delightful old-fashioned sleeping porch for tranquil nights. The historical significance extends beyond the house, as a Tannery once stood behind the home, serving tenant homes along Tannery Road-structures that still stand today. Experience outdoor living at its best with multiple screened porches overlooking rock gardener's touch with perennials throughout, creating a picturesque and welcoming environment. The separate building lot could be the perfect canvas for a charming guest cottage, offering guests a delightful retreat while enjoying views of Dillons Run. Enjoy modern amenities such as fiber optic internet, central heat/air, and town water and sewer, extending to the separate building lot, providing an effortless living experience. With a charming newer red roof, this residence is located in the quaint village of Capon Bridge, within walking distance to various shops, including The River House-a venue with a restaurant and live music. Red Bird Hill offers a unique, one-of-a-kind escape, inviting you to step back in time and relish the finest aspects of rural life. This property would make a great AirB & B. * * * Seller will accept back-up offers * * * Please show!!
