Ohio Riverfront Retreat Near Huntington: Vintage Charm and Modern Comfort

• Relax above the Ohio River in a 3-BR retreat that blends historic character with updated comfort.

• Start with coffee in the sunroom or do a little bird watching.

• Grab a fresh pastry from the bakery a short walk away.

• Gather in the great room or unwind on the swing overlooking the river.

• Look for surprises. The pump house from the mid-1800s is the last original building standing, but pieces of history are woven throughout the property.

**Layout & Step-Free Route**
Most living spaces and two bedrooms are on the main level.

• **Main access:** There is a ramp and then a single step up into the front entry. Off the kitchen, there is one step down into the laundry room leading to Bedroom 3.
• **Step-free route:** If steps are a challenge, a flat sidewalk leads directly from the driveway to the back sunroom entrance with no steps required.
• Note: Bathrooms retain a compact, original 1960s footprint, fully updated with modern fixtures and grab bars.

**Historic Charm**
The charm of this house feels authentic — because it is. The original "old house" was built on the property in the mid-1800s.

Pieces of that history are woven throughout this entire home.
You will find it in the solid wood of the salvaged front door, the decorative fireplace, and the staircase leading upstairs (to locked storage).

It's even built right into the walls—years ago, the owner sat next to his father, knocking the mortar off brick after brick so they could be given new life in this 1960s ranch home.

But old isn't always comfortable, and we've taken care of that. The kitchen and bathroom have been completely renovated and are well-equipped.

Enjoy spotting little treasures from the 1950s, 1970s, 1980s. Pick up an old novel or kick back and watch Netflix—old and new are thoughtfully blended with you, our guests, in mind.

**Convenient Location**
The house is nestled in small-town South Point but only 10–20 minutes from area attractions.
