About This Home

18 Orchard Drive

A Rare Piece of Ohio Valley History — The Finney-Darrah House at Scenery Hill on 3.11 acres Step into the history of the Ohio Valley with the extraordinary Finney-Darrah House, also known as Scenery Hill, an iconic 1823 residence perched high above the Ohio River in Martins Ferry, Ohio. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this remarkable property offers a rare opportunity to own and restore one of Belmont County's distinguished early residences. The history of this property begins even before the present home was built. The land was acquired by Arthur Lee, after receiving property in the area through an early government land grant associated with Revolutionary War service. The present residence was constructed in 1823, creating a remarkable connection between the property's earliest land history and the architectural legacy that remains today. The home reflects the formal character and symmetry associated with Georgian-era architecture, with an impressive approach leading into a distinctive foyer featuring two entry doors and an elegant central staircase. Multiple fireplaces throughout the residence add warmth, character and an unmistakable sense of its nineteenth-century origins. A new boiler system, provides radiant heat, offering modern heating comfort while complementing the character of this historic residence. The Finney-Darrah House is an opportunity for the buyer who sees beyond cosmetic updates and recognizes the value of restoration, history and architectural authenticity. With its 1823 origins, National Register designation, historic fireplaces, grand foyer and staircase, newer radiant-heating system, and commanding Ohio River views, this property offers the chance to preserve an important piece of the region's past while creating a truly distinctive home for the future. For those looking for a property with a story, there are few opportunities quite like Scenery Hill.
