Currently operating as a successful vacation rental since 2018, this 3-bedroom, 1-bath home is ready to continue welcoming guests from day one. The property can be offered with furnishings negotiable, making it possible for a new owner to step into an established vacation-rental setup, Located directly along the Hocking River and just steps from the Hocking Valley Scenic Railway depot, the home offers a location that appeals to visitors exploring Nelsonville, Hocking Hills and Southeast Ohio. With a little work, river access is possible. The history of this home is just as special as its location. Built by John Farrow, brother of A.D. Farrow, whose historic Harley-Davidson dealership was founded in Nelsonville, the property has remained in the current owner's family for more than 50 years. A thoughtful renovation completed in 2016 preserved the home's original character, including beautifully restored original woodwork and hardwood floors. Two additional unfinished rooms are currently closed off from vacation-rental guests and could be renovated separately without disturbing the existing finished living space. The former original bathroom offers the opportunity to restore a second full bath, while the home's former kitchen--partially gutted after the new kitchen was added in 2016--was envisioned as a spacious first-floor primary bedroom filled with original character. Completing these areas could potentially transform the home into a 4- or even 5-bedroom, 2-bath property. Outside, enjoy a large side yard, riverfront setting and a new hot tub.
