Description
Along the Susquehanna River in Marietta’s historic district, this beautifully converted 1860s brick warehouse offers a truly unique living experience, a perfect blend of preserved character and imaginative design. Originally part of a 19th-century lumber company, the building has been thoughtfully transformed into a home that honors its industrial roots, featuring exposed brick, original wood beams and floors, and a fully functional original Otis freight elevator that conveniently connects all three levels. A major recent upgrade includes a brand-new roof installed in September 2025 with durable 30-year shingles, providing peace of mind and long-term protection. The third floor offers a spacious, open-concept layout ideal for both entertaining and everyday living. Vaulted ceilings and original hardwood floors lead to the kitchen with a Corian island, built-in wine cooler, custom lighting crafted from reclaimed chimney sweeps, and a seamless flow into the generous dining and living areas. A capped gas line offers the option to switch from electric to gas cooking, if preferred. The primary suite includes a walk-in closet with built-ins, an additional closet, and access to the full bath with a relaxing jetted tub, stall shower, and a sliding privacy door. This level also includes a second bedroom with a walk-in closet and a convenient laundry closet. Down one level, the second floor offers two additional bedrooms, a full bath with charming vintage details, and a cozy study with built-in shelving. Sliding doors open to a spacious second-story deck overlooking the fenced backyard, perfect for outdoor living, entertaining, or simply enjoying the view. In the winter months, the bare trees reveal views of the Susquehanna River. On the main floor, you'll find a heated workshop and several unfinished areas that provide incredible potential for future projects, hobbies, or personalized space. This location also offers easy access to outdoor recreation, with a bike path, scenic trails, and a small park just across the street. Surrounded by canal remnants, historic iron furnaces, and classic architecture, this home offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Marietta’s past, thoughtfully reimagined for modern living. All of this is just a short distance from local cafes, pubs, River Trail Brewing, the Marietta Boat Club, Chickies Rock County Park, museums, and quick access to US-30 West.

The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
