SURROUNDED BY NATURE. DEFINED BY PRIVACY. Set on 6.15 private acres just beyond the Monongalia County line and only minutes from Cheat Lake and Snake Hill Wildlife Management Area, this Cape Cod is quietly nestled among mature Appalachian hardwoods, where every season transforms the landscape and privacy comes naturally. A tree-lined gravel drive opens to a home that feels deeply connected to its surroundings. Inside, hardwood floors, an open living and dining area, and a thoughtfully designed kitchen with granite countertops, espresso cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances create spaces that are both warm and timeless. The primary suite offers a jetted soaking tub beneath a picture window overlooking the woods, while vaulted ceilings upstairs and a finished lower level with a wood-burning stove add character and comfort throughout. Outside, a private pond, stone-walled garden enclosure, fenced dog area, and expansive rear deck invite you to enjoy the beauty of the property at every turn. There is something rare about a home that feels as though it belongs exactly where it stands. Surrounded by forest yet just minutes from Cheat Lake, this is a place best experienced in person.
