So you want to live in the country? It doesn't get any better than this! Ohio township in rural Columbus is just like Brown County with rolling hills and mature forest- this wonderful house is nestled on 19.417 acres surrounded by fields and streams and trees- wow! The quiet is intoxicating...this time of year green is everywhere- in the winter a sledding hill out back by the barn is the place to hang out. 15 minutes from downtown Columbus. The drive way hints at a home which is a cross between Martha Stewart and TC Steele as you glide up the drive with gravel lanes for tires and grass in the middle for fun. The house is contemporary with industrial touches like galvanized siding on not one, not two, but three stories- the top floor is the primary retreat perched up high, with tons of closet space, it's own full bath, and a small office- the views from up here are spectacular! The Pella windows help. The middle floor consists of 3 bedrooms, all 14x12 so kids get exact same size rooms, and full bath. Heading down to the Main Floor, guests come to front door on big wrap around porch into entry hall. Powder room is right where it should be. The huge living room is set at jaunty angle and boasts 14' ceilings, too many windows to count, concrete floors begging for interesting area rugs American or otherwise. The real scene stealer is a large masonry fireplace made out of cinder block. The house is heated and cooled by several split systems so every area (including that third floor!) has adequate HVAC coverage for the hottest Hoosier Summer days and the oldest Winter nights. The fireplace is designed to fire up from two sides as a wood burning stove does- the block warms sending radiant heat throughout. The large kitchen opens to mammoth screen porch. Two barns and child's playhouse artists retreat complete the picture. Full basement playroom.
