2 Beds | 1.5 Baths | ~1,680 Sq Ft | Built in 1994 | Glenville, WV
Tucked away on a peaceful country lane near the top of a hill, this custom-built Appalachian log home offers timeless charm, natural beauty, and complete tranquility—all just 5 minutes from downtown Glenville and Glenville State University.
