About the host
Hosted by Jeff Williams
Why they chose this property
This neighborhood is peaceful and tucked away, yet minutes from everything. The wooded area behind the house gives it a secluded, country-like feel and it's not uncommon to spot deer, Eagle, fox, and rabbits right in the backyard.
What makes this property unique
The location is what truly makes this property unique. Nestled in a historic area near the old Arcadian Mine, the home is believed to date back to the mining era. The terraced backyard offers a beautiful and functional landscape, shaded by mature black walnut trees that give the space a serene, almost timeless feel. It’s a one-of-a-kind setting that blends natural beauty with historic charm.
