The home reflects the formal character and symmetry associated with Georgian-era architecture, with an impressive approach leading into a distinctive foyer featuring two entry doors and an elegant central staircase. Multiple fireplaces throughout the residence add warmth, character and an unmistakable sense of its nineteenth-century origins. A new boiler system, provides radiant heat, offering modern heating comfort while complementing the character of this historic residence. The Finney-Darrah House is an opportunity for the buyer who sees beyond cosmetic updates and recognizes the value of restoration, history and architectural authenticity. With its 1823 origins, National Register designation, historic fireplaces, grand foyer and staircase, newer radiant-heating system, and commanding Ohio River views, this property offers the chance to preserve an important piece of the region's past while creating a truly distinctive home for the future. For those looking for a property with a story, there are few opportunities quite like Scenery Hill.
