Professionally redecorated 2-story has all-new interior
Contributing writer
An all-new interior awaits new owners in the brick, two-story home at 765 Frisco Lane in Vandalia.
Built in 2003 on a nearly half-acre lot, this home has been completely and professionally redecorated by Tipp Interiors, which recently opened a second office in north Dayton while keeping its original location in Tipp City.
“Almost everything is new,” said James Shelton of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Big Hill. “Hand-scraped hardwood floors, carpeting in the bedrooms, remodeled kitchen and baths, lighting fixtures. A lot of dry wall was replaced, and the deck was expanded, also.”
With a finished basement, this home offers about 4,000 square feet of living space. It is listed for $389,900.
The protected front entrance opens into a bright two-story entry, where a large window sits above the plant shelf and the front door surrounded by a full transom and sidelights.
Hand-scraped wood flooring extends from the entry into the main floor gathering areas. The tray ceiling in the formal dining room is centered with an unusual designer chandelier suggesting a starburst in modern form.
A vaulted ceiling rises above the open great room, where tall windows flank the fireplace with its substantial white mantel and fluted posts.
A wall was removed to open up the kitchen, and now an island with tiered bar seating doubles as a separation from the great room. All counters are topped with bevel-edged granite in a natural contrast to white cabinets with upper moldings and under-lighting. The angled back counter incorporates a smooth-surface range. Backsplashes pick up tones from the granite in a formation of elongated miniature glass tiles. Downward halogen lights from the stainless-steel hood accent the cooking area. Other stainless-steel appliances include a dishwasher, microwave oven and a refrigerator with an exterior beverage dispenser. An open bay area with windows facing the back yard can serve as a breakfast nook or additional work space.
A hallway offers access to the laundry room, the garage and a guest bedroom near a full bath with a step-in shower and a raised vanity.
In the main-floor main bedroom suite, the bedroom includes inviting sitting space arranged in a three-window bay area. Two walk-in closets with wraparound organizers flank the hall entrance into the bath, which offers a tiled step-in shower enclosed in glass doors and a walk-in linen closet.
The double vanity wraps around a corner with glass-tile backsplashes matching the tile design in the shower. Grouted vinyl tile covers the floor in a herringbone design.
At the top of the open staircase in the entry, there is a versatile loft area currently used as a sitting area, but it could be an office or a play area. Three more bedrooms and a full bath are on this level also. Two rooms have double closets and paddle fans. The third bedroom has a vaulted ceiling and a walk-in closet.
Granite tops the vanity counter in the hall bath. Ceramic tile surrounds the tub and shower area with a decorative miniature tile insert on one wall.
“I think the most unique feature is in the full finished basement,” said Shelton.
He said sound-dampening material was used on the walls in the recreation room to insulate noise from traveling upstairs.
“It is wonderful for a media area – the sound does not echo,” he said.
White doors enclose a recessed cupboard for wiring and equipment. A semi-circular area at one end creates an ideal space for a dining table or a game table.
Extra cabinets and a granite counter are installed in the half-bath, which has a pedestal sink.
A semi-finished storage room has vinyl flooring.
Shelton said that windows and roof were replaced about two years ago. Other features of this home include a high-efficiency furnace and air conditioner, a three-dimensional roof and a central vacuum system.
