The setting is what you've been looking for. This 3BR/2BA log home sits on 3 acres of rolling ground just 10 minutes from downtown Parkersburg with quick access to Corridor D (US 50). Inside, soaring cathedral ceilings and exposed beams frame a floor-to-ceiling river rock fireplace in the great room. Hardwood floors run through the kitchen and dining area, where you'll find a center island with seating, stainless appliances, gas range, and French doors opening to the deck. The wraparound deck and covered patio below take in long views across the pasture and hillsides. A walk-out lower level adds room to spread out. Outside: a detached two-car garage with full storage above and its own exterior stair, a large log-sided barn, and an outdoor wood furnace that sends heat through lines to the home's furnace, distributing it through the existing ductwork — real savings on the winter heat bill. Open lawn, mature trees, and elbow room in every direction. Homes like this don't come up often in Wood County.
