This lovely all brick Federal home was built in 1811 by a Mathias Ranck, a prominent Marietta lumberman of the time. Built along Front Street of Marietta, it had easy access to the Susquehanna River and still was associated with the main part of the city.
Marietta is now recognized nationally for its historic contributions to the growth of Pennsylvania and is populated by numerous architecturally significant structures. 18 E Front St. has been operated as a Bed and Breakfast for 15 of the last 20 years. Known as The Waterford House, it has maintained its popularity due to its limitless charm and loving preservation of its Federal style, inside and out.
With 5 Bedrooms, 2-1/2 baths and a laundry room on the second floor, it offers not only the charm of yesteryear, but also the convenience of today.
A country kitchen with a wood/coal stove insert taking a small part of it, makes for a warm and cozy eat-in breakfast area.
The formal Dining Room with its built in corner cabinet exudes the luxury that B&B travelers have come to love for more substantial meals. The formal Living Room, Parlor and adjacent Entrance Hall, also contribute to the formal, yet warm feel that permeates this home.
A second floor addition was added to the back of the home a number of years ago. It includes a full bedroom, a full bath, large closets, exposed wood beams and a view of the gardens. It is serviced by a back staircase to the kitchen and has a motorized stair lift chair for ease of access. This area could serve as an in-law or owners quarters because of its privacy and its separate exterior entrance.
The other bedrooms are in the originally constructed part of the home. They are served by a full bath, a laundry, a screened in 2nd floor porch and a front and rear staircase. The front bedroom has an attached nursery bedroom or guest room.
Besides being a wonderful Bed & Breakfast, this home also lends itself very well to a single family home in a beautiful area. |
