ADU. South-facing, this 1938 Cape Cod, modern, is completely renovated from its honey-pine, hand-hewn framing which was an extraordinary building practice at the time.
The south-facing home is ideally located across the road from miles of world-class hiking trails, ancient rock formations, migrating and local bird watching, scenic vistas and 2.7 miles from the center of Yellow Springs, OH. Walk 3/4 of a mile on a groomed boardwalk upper path to Clifton Mill (the oldest contiguous running mill in the USA!) for breakfast, lunch or the famous holiday lights and a perfect blend of year 'round seasonal enjoyment.
One of the best 90-minute fly and drive markets in the country, juxtaposed to the best in personal forest bathing and your very own private access to ancient, glacier carved Clifton Gorge (of which you will own part of!), across the road from the famous "narrows" where Daniel Boone jumped across, being chased by Shawnee Indians. Enjoy artifact hunting on your own property and let your nature-loving instincts inspire a peaceful, wonderful, productive life. Easy commute to Columbus, Cincinnati or Dayton airports and metro areas, 11 miles from WPAFB.
Photographs of the original home and extensive renovation process available. Meticulously detailed by local crafts people along with interior furnishings and art, also negotiable.
