The house has five rooms, one bath, full basement, and spacious hallway. Exposed brick kitchen with huge brick fireplace opens onto back porch with secluded view of garden.

An easy kayak row across the river to the walking trails of The Nathaniel Greene National Historic site, Greensboro is located on the Warrior trail and is within a half-hour’s drive of Morgantown, Waynesburg, and Uniontown, and an hour and twenty minutes from Pittsburgh. The town of Greensboro has several businesses, including a classical used bookshop, antique shop with music lessons, ceramic studio, woodshop, metal shop, and historic bed and breakfast overlooking the Mon. River. Two community non-profit organizations support the arts with an annual arts and music festival in Greensboro, and a weekly farmer’s market.
