The site often visited by tour buses, appointment and visitors by chance. Now that the owners have sold the toy business in which they had proudly ran since the 1960’s it is now time to sell the beautiful real estate in which they have lovingly adorned for many years. Their memories always kept close to their heart.
Approximately 5 1/2 miles East of New Martinsville, WV the owners have always considered themselves lucky. Their closeness to stores such as Wal-mart, restaurants, hospitals, and etc. have been a major amenity to them and will be as well for the new purchasers. Approx. 6 miles from the Ohio River.
These two wonderfully maintained very unique storybook homes sit in a great country West Virginia setting with panoramic views of the awesome 156 acres more or less surroundings. Great access with a single graveled driveway leads to them both from exiting off a secondary paved road. One home being a Storybook A-frame style, and the other being a very spacious Cape Cod.
Both homes have city water with one meter. Wood burning Fisher stove & corner heaters in the A-frame, and a Wood burning Fisher stove in the Cape Cod along with Electric heat. The A-frame is very unique indeed with two decks and a spiral staircase leading down to the ground patio situated just “perfect” overlooking the awesome acreage. One can see beautiful scenic views for miles upon miles. It is easy to forget about all of life’s worries here and the tranquility will take you to a different mindset. It is like you are on a vacation and you never want it to end.
The wooded A-frame consists of a first floor, second floor and a basement. One can play a few holes of golf in the basement and lounge in a colorful tropical room. The newer owners can paint to their desires if needed and where needed and will need to place in possibly new modernized carpet of their choice. Large laundry room in basement as well. One full bathroom and two half baths in this home. The full bathroom is on the first floor and one half bathroom on the second floor and in the basement. One bedroom on the first floor, and one bedroom/office on the second floor connected to a catwalk leading to the upper deck. A couple of bedrooms could be even added in the basement if needed which is being called the family room now. The living room and kitchen is on the first floor and a family room in the basement.
The second which being the ever so unique vinyl sided Cape Cod is located directly behind the A-frame. This home is ever so sprawling indeed and was once where all of the folk toys were handmade and were packaged for shipments. Absolutely many spacious and comfortable rooms in this well kept home. Large living room with the wood burning stove with many bi-folding doors leading to the large working “studio”. From the large studio there is another room called the workshop. From the workshop leads to the attached one car garage. Going back to the living room and rounding the corner is the kitchen and office combo with a half bath. Then this area leading to the dining room or one could call it a sitting or family room by going through patio doors. Close is a guest bedroom. Also, close to the living room area is the master bedroom with an approx. 8 x 8 walk in closet. A very large master bathroom with a dual seated shower and where one can house their washer and dryer.
The ceilings in this home are approx. 10 ft or higher which gives it an open feel. A super spacious attic with flooring and shelves running with the full length of home can be assessed by a set of stairs in the workshop room. A long curved back deck for outdoor sitting and grilling looking into nature. This home’s floor plan could be used differently by a new owner. There is plenty of more space for more bedrooms if needed.
The land is absolutely breathtaking with a long meadow and many many roads of trails for horsebacking, atv riding, or whatever your desire. There is also an large orchard of apple, pear and peach trees in yard says owner.
Honey Bee Hives located on the property a far off distance from both homes. The bee keeper being a friend of the Seller.
