"An opportunity to own a piece of history!" Located in the heart of Shinnston WV overlooking the West Fork River sits a charming stone home built circa early 1800's by Aaron Shinn (a stone mason), son of Shinnston's founder, Levi Shinn. This home's current owners have decided to put this unique property up for sale in hopes the next owners will have the time and energy to bring it back to its original glory. Could be renovated for residential use or converted into a stunning commercial space if so desired. The property features the original main stone structure with two fireplaces and rooms located above on the second level. There was an addition off the rear side facing the river that featured a kitchen, bath, and bedroom but since being exposed to the elements will need to be removed and/or rebuilt. The stone structure is nestled to one side of the lot leaving room on the other side for parking to be added or open yard space. Property is located within a floodplain. Will not pass bank financing in existing condition. Call today for your private showing! All Utilities Currently Turned Off
