Although this is a new listing, I have hosted since 2016 and have enjoyed doing it. We live nearby, so depending on everyone’s schedule and wishes, you may meet me. I enjoy hiking and gardening, among other interests.

We bought this property from a family member in 2002 and aside from this house, which is separated into downstairs and upstairs apartments, all other homes on this drive are property of family members. It is clean and neat and feels like home.

This home was built in 1976 by my brother-in-law, father-in-law , and other members of my husband’s and brother-in-law’s family. He was a coal miner who reused and repurposed many things for his new home. He also used rough cut lumber from a local saw mill. The logs were cut from his homestead and sawed at Joe Maggard’s saw mill in Krypton. The house has undergone numerous renovations throughout the years. Originally, my in-laws lived in the top of the house and the bottom was an above ground basement. It was all one home, but the stairs leading up were taken out by my in-laws to make upstairs into an apartment for their son, who was a new college graduate (circa 1991). Soon after, the wraparound porch was added and covered by a roof extension. My in-laws moved after their son married and moved away, and offered to sell it to us in 2002. When we couldn’t come up with the full down payment required, they wrote a “note” due in about six years, which we were able to repay early at a great relief to my newly widowed sister-in-law. When we bought it in 2002, we re-wired downstairs and remodeled it once again. We built a less-steep set of stairs with a landing coming down from the upstairs apartment. Later, we had this covered to keep off rain and snow. The steep stairs were moved to the back/side as an fire escape for upstairs and to replace concrete/block steps that lead straight out into the side yard about 25 feet! Talk about a tough jackhammering job! We also added a small, covered back porch upstairs. My parents moved from Winchester and rented downstairs after a small renovation (took down a wall that made a third bedroom, carpeted , new flooring, and painted). After a couple of years, we carpeted upstairs to rent again and my parents decided to move upstairs, where they lived until their deaths in 2013. Since then we’ve rented to a few people. Renters tend to stay for years…it’s a nice, comfortable, spacious place with awesome landlords who keep things fixed!
