Mid-Century Modern Ranch near Cumberland Fire Pit

A mid-century ranch on a wide lawn in Cresaptown, renovated with real care: navy kitchen cabinets and brass fixtures, subway tile, hardwood floors, and a screened porch that catches the afternoon. Out back there's a stone fire pit ring and enough grass for a game of anything. The ridge sits behind the house. It's a quiet street where people walk in the evenings. Cumberland is ten minutes away, Rocky Gap and its lake about twenty, with the C&O Canal towpath and the Great Allegheny Passage nearby.

The house. A long, low 1960s ranch set back on a flat one-acre lot, with a private driveway and room for several cars. It was renovated with care: hardwood floors throughout, and the original mid-century lines kept.

Living and dining. Hardwood runs straight from the living room through to dining, so whoever is cooking can still hear the conversation. The chimney breast is painted a deep slate blue; it is decorative only, and no fires are lit in it. There is a piano against the far wall. A mid-century table sits under a pendant light, with the door to the garden beside it.

The kitchen. Deep navy cabinets, brass handles, subway tile to the ceiling and a stone counter with room to work. Coffee both ways: drip and pods, with tea alongside.

Bedrooms. Three bedrooms, each with a queen bed:
The blue room: a caned headboard, windows on two sides and a reading chair
The green room: a brass bedstead, floating nightstands and swing-arm reading lights
The white room: the quiet one, with wide floorboards and the morning light

The bathroom. One full bath with a tub and shower, a towel warmer, a round brass mirror and a black hexagon floor.

Outside. A screened porch with a ceiling fan along the side of the house, out of the sun. Out back, a stone fire pit ring with chairs, a propane grill, and more lawn than most houses get. It is a quiet street; people walk it in the evenings.

Getting around. Cumberland is about ten minutes away, and Rocky Gap State Park and its lake about twenty. The Great Allegheny Passage and the C&O Canal towpath are close by.

Good to know. WiFi and a laptop-friendly workspace. Washer and dryer in the full basement. Check-in 3:00 PM, checkout 11:00 AM. Sleeps 6.

Full house

Please note: the living-room fireplace is decorative only. No fires, and no candles in the firebox.

The propane grill stays behind the house. Never move it under the screened porch, and shut the gas off at the tank after use.

The house has one full bathroom (tub and shower) for up to six guests.

Cumberland is about ten minutes away, and Rocky Gap State Park about twenty. The Great Allegheny Passage and the C&O Canal towpath are close by.
