Awaiting historically significant restoration or transformation into charming and spacious family home, airbnb or even restaurant is this unique structure in the little village of Fairview in eastern Guernsey County near the Belmont County line, just off Interstate 70. Fairview, platted in 1814, today is best known as home to the Pennyroyal Opera House, a music venue that hosts top name bluegrass acts regularly. This is the Matthew Scott House, which was built in 1821 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The house retains an excellent degree of architectural integrity. The design aspects of the Federal Style, two-thirds Georgian, and Side Hallway house type are intact, both on the interior through the floor plan and historic materials and on the exterior through the architectural detailing. There are four bedrooms, one on main floor. Two full baths. Six original fireplaces, one in every room. Propane heat. Newer windows. In the early 19th century, Matthew Scott was a merchant in Fairview, a destination on the National Road for travelers, shoppers, markets, churches, entertainment, inns, lodging and more. To qualify for conventional financing, this property needs a new well, at least until public water comes to the Village. the seller did get an estimate for new well.
