Home built for John and Annie Glenn on the Scioto River is on the market

The home that John and Annie Glenn designed on the Scioto River in 1973 is on the industry.

Doing the job with Columbus architect Woody Acock, the Glenns served layout the ranch  dwelling, which features a windowed loft where by the previous astronaut and U.S. Senator from Ohio reportedly enjoyed star-gazing.

“The great bubble window was so he could watch the stars at evening, and it is a genuinely cool space,” listing agent Margot Campbell Laumann, with Street Sotheby’s Global Realty, said in an report on Realtor.com.

“When in the loft space, it is rather astounding to set oneself in John Glenn’s existence.”

The 3,789-sq.-foot home, featuring four bedrooms and three bathrooms, sits on a 1.1-acre good deal on Outdated Poste Road in Norwich Township, on the west bank of the Scioto River. With a cathedral-ceilinged living room ending in the loft, the household has commanding sights.

“It’s a beautiful, sprawling ranch, and you just have tons of pure gentle that fills the house,” Laumann mentioned in the article. “When you get inside of and you see these 180-degree sights of the water, it’s quite remarkable. The partitions of windows seriously provide the outdoors inside of.”

The home, which has a contingent offer, is stated for $1.345 million, a slight rate drop from the April listing cost of $1.395 million.

The Glenns moved into the residence in early 1974, ahead of John Glenn was elected to the U.S. Senate afterwards that year. They marketed the dwelling for $241,000in the summer time of 1978, a couple several years into Glenn’s initial phrase, and purchased a condominium on the 20th ground of Summit Chase, in Grandview Heights.

John Glenn died Dec. 8, 2016, at age 95. Annie Glenn died May 19, 2020, of COVID-19 at age 100.
